Industry practitioners can enhance classroom learning
Industry practitioners enhance classroom learning in a number of ways.
- Course Development - Faculty members consult with practitioners to ensure the curriculum incorporates a real-world perspective on solving business problems
- Case Studies - Companies share knowledge about best practices and lessons learned in case studies or projects
- Project Design - Practitioners design projects that challenge the student to apply classroom knowledge to solve problems in a dynamic, constantly changing business environment
- Project Participation - Industry practitioners remains engaged with the class throughout the project life cycle, which could last a semester or an entire school year
- Guest Lectures - Practitioners share with students aspects of their role that are relevant to the course content
These interactions with industry practitioners provide an opportunity for faculty to link foundational concepts with the real world and re-enforce the inherent trade-offs often required within a global enterprise.
