OPM 499 Group Capstone Project

5 CR

This course involves working as a team on a project in the field of operations management. The topic to be studied will be chosen by the group, agreed in conjunction with program faculty, and approved by the program director. A faculty member or industry mentor will be available throughout the course to act as an advisor. However, it is expected that the group is self-directing, and that individuals in the group demonstrate the ability to work with other team members during the project. The project may be carried out with an industry partner/employer. The course requires both a written project report and an oral presentation of the project results by the group, and individual summary reports by each student.
Prerequisite(s): OPM 311, OPM 312, ENGL 310, all with a C or higher, and Instructor permission.
