Business development project (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

H-5

Content scheduling

The course content can be customized to meet the needs of individual students or student groups.

Where possible, the course implementation is aimed at integrating it into an innovation project, public organizations, private companies, or Turku University of Applied Sciences' own research and development projects. The goal is for the student, either individually or in a group, to participate in a development project where they have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with new technologies, digital entrepreneurship, or otherwise assist in practical tasks related to business and product development.

Students have the opportunity to propose their own target (their own internship, workplace, their own innovation, and entrepreneurship) or participate in selected projects or explore a current topic of interest as part of another course.

During the course meetings, topics such as artificial intelligence and its application in business, the search for innovations, and digital entrepreneurship will be discussed. The content will be specified as the course progresses, and meetings can also be separately arranged guidance sessions.

Objective

After completing the study unit the student can:
- implement or participate in project where new technology is utilized for business development
- utilize latest technologies and environments in the project (such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things and cloud services)

Content

Kurssin sisältö on räätälöitävissä yksittäisen opiskelijan tai opiskelijaryhmän tarpeita ajatellen.
Tarkoituksena on integroida toteutuksen sisältö ja tekeminen osaksi julkisten organisaatioiden, yksityisten yritysten tai Turun AMK:n omia tutkimus- ja kehityshankkeita. Tavoitteena on, että opiskelija yksin tai ryhmässä osallistuu kehitysprojektiin, jossa hänellä on mahdollisuus tutustua uusiin teknologioihin, digitaaliseen yrittäjyyteen tai muutoin auttaa liiketoimintaa ja tuotekehitystä käytännön tehtävissä. Opiskelijalla on mahdollisuus ehdottaa kohdetta itse (oma harjoittelu, työpaikka, oma innovaatio ja yrittäjyys), tai ottaa osaa valittuihin projekteihin.
