Step 1: Project idea submission: Everyone is invited to submit project ideas. Anything from industry study, to new business ventures, to consulting on real issues with real businesses is possible. Your required level of confidentiality is assured. Web exposure is not required. Step 2: Submitted projects are reviewed by the MPC Business & Technology Project Board. Projects are segmented into stages and targeted to match MPC courses. Step 3: Project idea author is contacted to discuss possible involvement and relevant project details. Step 4: Project stages are written into an assignment outline that is posted to this site as a "NEW" project. Step 5: Students select individual project stages to complete as their class projects, and their work on the selected stage begins. Students submit their finished project in presentation and written reports. Step 6: Completed project stage presentations and reports are posted to this site for public viewing and to serve as a basis for another student team to continue with subsequent stages. Student groups continue completing individual stages until each stage is completed. Step 7: The final presentation piece is posted to the site along with each supporting stage. These completed presentations serve as a community resource for business research, a public portfolio for students, and a showcase of our business topics at work in the MPC Business & Technology division.
