ICAPP projects
support Georgia’s
strategic industries
Energy/Environment
Valdosta State University is creating one new course and revising two existing courses to incorporate
new technology in the paper industry (particularly as it relates to energy consumption and quality
control). Courses are aimed at Valdosta State students and current employees of the pulp and paper
industry. The courses include a project-based directed study course (experiential learning).
Life Sciences
In response to bioscience industry requests, the University of Georgia’s College of Pharmacy created
three graduate programs in regulatory science and clinical trials. Since January 2006, 74 students from
more than 25 Georgia companies and biomedical institutions have enrolled in one of the programs,
and 23 new graduate students have been accepted beginning Fall 2008.
Agriculture
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) is helping develop the bioenergy workforce in southern
Georgia through a variety of community, K-12 school and on-campus efforts —so far reaching more than
300 teachers, 230 students and 200 local residents. ABAC developed three new courses, and established
a new bachelor’s business degree program with a concentration in biomass and renewable resources in
partnership with Georgia Southwestern State University.
Logistics
DSC Logistics helped Clayton
State University revise one
course in its Logistics/Supply
Chain Management program to
cover topics of concern to DSC’s
segment of the industry. Clayton
State University also added 20
students per year to the program.
DSC selects Clayton State
University students for part-time,
paid internships and commits to
hire at least 10 of these students
as Logistics Managers when they
graduate. The program has
expanded to other companies
with logistics operations.
