Description from DukeHub

The Engineering Management Practicum provides a real life view of various challenges faced by organizations. Projects at the intersection of engineering and business will be chosen for this practicum. Students will work in teams and will conduct a mentored, semester-long project for an organization. The learning objectives of this course include: (i) learn how engineering and technology impact organizations and how they are integrated into an organization to achieve desired results; (ii) understand, through an experiential environment, how organizations function and the difference between theory and implementation in an organizational setting; and (iii) develop team based skills in an applied environment and learn how to communicate technical issues to a variety of personnel in an organization.
