Mastering the intuition and logic of business and learning the fundamentals of the industry are essential, but not sufficient, for success in this field. It is Kellogg's philosophy that we expect you to take the concepts we have taught you in class and be able to apply them in practice. This is rarely easy. If it was, it wouldn't have great value. To create a laboratory for our students to apply their knowledge to the PEVC industry and learn in the process, we have created two laboratory courses. In both courses, students are placed with a sponsoring firm for the quarter. The students are expected to complete a mutually agreed upon project designed to give them new insight into the industry, develop the skills necessary to succeed, and produce a product of value for the sponsor. We celebrate the end of the school year with a Sponsor's Dinner including the sponsors and students participants from the most recent year.
