INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP INTERNSHIP PILOT FOR BSC IBA, 2015-2016
SETTING AND CONDITIONS Pilot Maximum 30 participants Four teachers -> 34 developers of the module Q2 & Q3: preparation and further development by students (and teachers) Q4 Internship (possibility to extend to or start in summer break: because of possible delay only after consultation and permission of supervisors) Typically in Twente region, the Netherlands or its direct neighbouring countries. In the development phase cooperation may be sought with student bodies such as Integrand and AIESEC.
Q2 AND Q3: PREPARATION PILOT: STUDENT DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT Internship is more than serving coffee and operate the copy machine. Also: the elective is a deepening follow up on M6 (INN&ENT) Preliminary objective (to be further developed with you): get to know how a company or organization works in practice by working on an identified problem within the innovation and entrepreneurship domain. To achieve this, a framework is needed. Therefore the development stage includes the development of a common instrument such as a benchmark audit or an omnibus survey which can be done by all participating students during their individual internship (this instrument can be complemented with questions specifically for your problem identification stage).
