A Case Study in Project-Based Learning: An International Partnership
Smith, Rachel Korfhage
Journal of Teaching in International Business, v21 n3 p178-188 2010
As our world becomes more integrated, international business students should develop skills that match corporations' needs. Moreover, students need hands-on, problem-solving, team-based, critical-thinking skills that companies demand. Students need international business experience but many of them lack the funds or support to study or intern abroad. This article explains how one program developed a project-based course that addressed these skills by partnering with a local consulate office. It lays the framework for using a project-based course, explains the course's development, outlines the necessary and important skills addressed, and provides an agenda for other schools considering such a course. (Contains 1 table.)
