Team Masters Project - A Corporate Opportunity

 

Combining business, science, project management, and team dynamics, KGI’s projects offer students valuable real world experience - and sponsoring companies, useful outcomes the Team Masters Project (TMP) at Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) provides an opportunity for your company to tackle real-life needs and help address corporate objectives without having to invest in additional permanent assets.  Your company's productivity is enhanced because you can manage multiple projects simultaneously.

An interdisciplinary team of students, working for several months – supervised by a KGI faculty member and in collaboration with your organization – delivers results on the project you identify.  Most of the work is expected to take place at KGI with occasional trips to the company site.

The projects serve your corporate needs – as well as KGI’s pedagogical requirements for real world experiences that require students to draw upon their KGI coursework in science, engineering, and business.
