What can students learn from solving a real problem provided by a company?
By working on a real problem provided by a company, students can learn to apply classroom knowledge under practical conditions, organize a problem, conduct research and testing, and propose solutions. Working with company representatives and other students can also develop skills in explaining ideas, consulting, coordinating, and managing deadlines and constraints. Reflecting on the results may deepen their understanding of professional perspectives and work, although the experience differs by course.
