OPM 498 Individual Capstone Project

5 CR

This course involves the self-directed execution of a project in the field of operations management employing elements from many of the courses the student has already taken linked together in a methodical, systematic way. The topic to be studied will be agreed in conjunction with program faculty and approved by the program director; and a faculty member or industry mentor will be available throughout the course to act as an advisor. However, it is expected that the student demonstrates independent thought and self-direction during the project. The project may be carried out with an industry partner/employer. The course requires both a written report and an oral presentation of the project results.
Prerequisite(s): OPM 311, OPM 312, ENGL 310, all with a C or higher, and Instructor permission.
