Faculty leverage industry practitioners to enrich the classroom experience

Faculty members who contribute to the GET curriculum have direct access to industry practitioners who enhance classroom learning in a number of ways.

• Course Development - Faculty members consult with practitioners to ensure the curriculum incorporates a real-world perspective on solving business problems
• Case Studies - Global enterprise companies have a wealth of knowledge about best practices and lessons that can be incorporated in case studies or projects to enhance learning
• Project Design - Practitioners design projects that challenge the student to apply classroom knowledge to solve problems in a dynamic, constantly changing business environment
• Project Participation - In some case, an industry practitioner remains engaged with the class throughout the project life cycle, which could last a semester or an entire school year
• Guest Lectures - Practitioners share with students aspects of their areas of expertise that are relevant to the course content

These interactions with industry practitioners provide an opportunity for faculty to link foundational concepts with the real world and re-enforce the inherent trade-offs often required within a global enterprise.
