The reason why we are going work through operation management unit
by doing a project is because it allows students to establish a real-world
connection by using a driving questions that will challenge them to
apply new concepts to create a product or a solution that will serve the
community around them.
Students will have to take in new information, evaluate, synthesize and
apply it while collaborating and communicating with their peers while
using communication and information technology.

project where you are
