Summer 2024 Study Abroad: Spain
My Travel Story
One of the courses focuses on building a business plan for an entrepreneur or firm interested in the development of a new product or service in the transportation business. A key element of the course is a project; students build a detailed plan to solve transportation-related problems, whether old or new. This may include analysis of problems of product or service design; development of structure, promotion, inter-organization cooperation and control in international marketing. Special emphasis on the importance of innovation and creativity for customer satisfaction.
The other course focuses on the essentials of capital budgeting and financing in the construction business and how to track and interpret the financial performance of a construction project throughout its life cycle. The course also provides the context in which the design and construction of transportation projects are developed, including the project life cycle, key participants, project delivery systems, and procurement methods.
