- Groups of four to five students are paired with a corporate partner by course instructors.
- Together, the company and the students identify problems or areas of concern within the business.
- The students propose methods for verifying, analyzing and solving those problems.
- A final report containing the students' observations, analysis and recommendations is provided to the company. (Note: you are not required to implement any of the students' recommendations, though we are confident you will want to.)
Throughout the 15-week course, students are supervised by the course instructor and a faculty mentor and provide updates to the project sponsor.
