FTA 3890: Experiential Learning

3 Credit Hours

Students engage in a team-based interactive virtual experiential learning with a collaborating industry partner to gain on-the-job experience. Stakeholders from the industry partner interact with students synchronously and asynchronously. A virtual collaboration platform is used to enroll, onboard, empathize, reboot, experiment, and deliver business solutions for client problems. Students get mentored, trained, and practice on tools and techniques used in industry. Student progress is tracked using a feedback loop to improve their learning. Prototyping and experimentation are encouraged to understand “real world” issues. Partner companies share their anonymized dataset, tools and techniques. Coaching activities including design thinking, backlog management, and business modeling are used in this course.

This course may be cross-leveled with FIS 6890
