OUTCOMES:
- Students will become familiar with core business concepts and terminology.
- Students will be better prepared for success in co-ops and jobs by building their knowledge in business leadership and the professional skills needed for workplace effectiveness.
- Students will be more confident presenters and networkers.
- Students will have a greater understanding of how various business disciplines interact in a company.
- Students will build skills to more effectively communicate on multidisciplinary teams that include leads from engineering, art and design, technology, and business.
- Students will put these business skills into practice by completing a 6-week business strategy activity.
