Students are challenged to identify and deliver possible solutionstoward a defined initiative within a framework of process steps. These steps often expand thestudent’s systematic and analytical view of working towards an optimal solution.This session will focus on the Directed Project component as part of the Masters in Technologydegree program jointly developed by a university and multinational company. Emphasis will begiven to the process model; guidance provided and project outcomes (quantifiable). Also,includes a discussion on how to identify and control project scope, collection and analysis ofdata, and consensus with project committee members and academic advisors.
