My experience so far in this IIEM program has been a very interesting one. It started with getting to know an entire group of new people combined with a very packed timetable. This to me was difficult to adjust to. Being in a class from eight in the morning to four in the evening and sometimes later was and sometimes still is a real challenge to me. However it must be done and I have been doing it.
To recap the past modules, well I can describe them as familiar, new, interesting, tiring and busy. Induction was first and I was quite comfortable with it. The material was familiar as most of it was covered in my undergrad mech degree. The project was interesting and much of a learning experience for me.
The next module was strategy and marketing which is not my forte. But it wasn’t too bad and Dr. Wilson did a good job at explaining it all. The project that followed was a bit of a challenge but my partner Lindy and I managed well I think. I really liked working in the bottled water industry and actually seeing how water is purified and bottled.
Entrepreneurship module was WOW!!!! That all I can say. We are now at the last module and in the process of deciding what our final research projects will be. The decision is a big and important one so much thought must be put into it. I hope that I make a good choice and produce a great project.
Next year brings lots of work and new experiences that I am both anxious and excited about. I wonder where we will be going for study tour …………
