Ralph Jaeschke Solutions for Economic Growth Center

THE SEG CENTER
 

The SEG Center is a premier vehicle for project-based learning at UW-Parkside. We bring together local community businesses with Parkside students and faculty to create a joint venture that benefits all parties involved.

The Center provides an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience working with companies and organizations to solve business problems. Student teams are assigned to selected projects and are run using a strict project management approach.

  • All teams have a faculty member with whom they work throughout the duration of the project
  • Continuous interaction with the client ensures that the teams are delivering a final solution that is in-line with the overall problem and needs of the client
