This summer, select first-year Eller MBAs will have the opportunity to tackle substantive international projects through two groundbreaking collaborations. International Field ProjectFour MBA students have been selected to work for a Fortune 500 company in four different locations — the U.S., Hong Kong, Manila, and Vienna. “This project is a high priority for the client, and our students will be working hands-on with top executives at each site,” says Denise Schubert, Eller MBA director of experiential learning. “It’s the kind of project that benefits everyone: the students gain high-profile global experience and the companies gain access to university resources and top Eller College talent.” Emerging Technologies ProjectSix cross-disciplinary teams of Eller MBAs and UA science and engineering students will evaluate 30+ emerging technologies in optics, physics, design, and electronics for four scientific institutions in Mexico. The teams will each hone in on a promising technology, then complete feasibility studies and recommend a path to commercialization. UA president Robert Shelton and Eller Distinguished Service Professor Ken Smith arranged the project with four prestigious companies in Mexico — Centro De Investigaciones En Optica, A.C. in Leon; Centro de Investigacion Cientifica y de Educacion superior de Ensenada in Ensenada; Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Technologia in Mexico City; and Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica in Puebla.
