The first semester courseprovides an introduction to how case studies are developed. The second semesteris a fieldwork course in which the students actively work with industrial partnersin India to research a problem and turn the results into a multimedia case study.This paper discusses how the IRES program is conducted as a two-semestersequence at Auburn University.
