Our comprehensive four-step process

  1. Needs Assessment

  2. Program Design
    The Custom Program Manager will develop a program calendar and pricing with your needs in mind. Once you agree on a price, we will prepare a contract agreement for your signature and begin securing program elements such as instructors, classrooms, etc. The Custom Program Manager will contact you regularly to communicate progress on the program’s design
  3. Program Implementation
    The Custom Program Team will be there throughout your program to make sure things run smoothly. The Custom Program Manager will meet with you at least once during the program to discuss program logistics and how best to address participant needs
  4. Program Evaluation
    The Custom Program Team will ask you and your group members to provide feedback through an evaluation form. The Custom Program Team uses the feedback you provide to make any needed improvements for future programs

Process

Our Custom Program process ensures you achieve total satisfaction. We focus on your organizational resources, participant profile, current skill set, and expected outcomes to deliver a program that meets your expectations.

Program Components

Depending on your training requirements, Custom Programs can include one or more of the following types of program components:

  • Lectures – Classroom instruction led by one of our UCI instructors
  • Case Studies – Students work in groups on a problem-solving exercise; a case study is a great way for students to apply what they have learned in lectures to real-world scenarios
  • Projects or Exams – Assessment tools used to gauge student acquisition of knowledge and skills during the program; these components can be stand-alone assessments or cumulative assessments
  • Guest Speakers – Representatives from area companies or organizations present and lead a classroom session
  • Panel Discussions – A group of instructors or guest speakers providing a variety of perspectives on a topic or issue
  • Field Trips – Group visits to local companies or institutions where students can observe classroom learning implemented in the field
  • Cultural Activities – Group visits to area attractions, including local beaches, museums, amusement parks, and shopping malls

Once we have an idea of your desired program topic and the goals for your learning experience, we can consider what program components would best meet the needs of your group.

The course was excellent. I learned how to implement what I learned in Design in an engineering project, and design thinking is a method not often used in engineering projects, so it was useful to understand how an engineer can impact a project. Even though we were all engineers, we learned about other disciplines and other aspects of engineering that are not usually present in the learning of each career. For example, I learned about Finance and it helped me compliment my teammates in their knowledge of technology. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, and opening this space for us to learn more about entrepreneurship.

My experience among the course I took was amazing, despite having to take it virtually because of the pandemic. Innovative product development is a class that I would recommend to every student or person that is willing to start in entrepreneurship. I was able to keep learning more technical skills and start seeing everything from another point of view. Regarding the teachers, I can only say that it is amazing to listen to people that really are passionate for what there are talking about. I just want to say thank you to UCI for giving us the opportunity to have this class. It was an amazing experience in which I had the opportunity to learn a lot about something that I am passionate about.
