ESI 1. Course Content: As an experiential learning course of a practicumnature, this activity more closely reflects an internshipenvironment, and as such each student's activities andinvolvements will differ, based on situation, and producing acommon course outline is not practical.However, there are common aspects expected to be containedin all such student practicum experiences in motorsports. Thestudent must be able to integrate into the motorsports team ororganization in which they are imbedded, adapting to theorganization's policies, procedures, purposes, and activities.They must be able to operate effectively within theorganizational structure of that entity, interfacing with internaland external individuals appropriate to the specific position.They must synthesize the skills developed in their universitystudies for application in the real world environment that theyface, applying appropriate problem solving methodologiesand analysis skills.Examples of engagements that would qualify as a practicumexperience could include 1.) An assignment as an assistantrace engineer for a professional or semi-professional raceteam for the entire race season, running from pre-seasonpreparation through the competition events, overseeing thetechnical preparations of a major system or subsystem. 2.) Anassignment with a business supporting the teams in aprofessional or semi-professional race series, interfacing withthem to assess their needs, and analyzing those needs anddesigning means of meeting those technical needs. 3.)Functioning as the technical team manager for an amateur orsemi-professional race team overseeing and coordinating alltechnical aspects of the operation including projectmanagement.

ESI 3. Teaching and Learning Methods: This course comprises a study conducted while thestudent is working with a race team or associated motorsportsindustry organization. The student's experience will beoverseen and monitored by IUPUI faculty.A project relevant to the student¿s individual situation will bedetermined by mutual agreement between the student,supervising faculty member, and industrial supervisor. Theproject will integrate and synthesize the various aspects of themotorsports industry in which the student has beenimbedded. An industry quality technical presentation andtechnical report will be required.This activity is consistent with the recommendations of theIUPUI Motorsports Engineering Industrial Advisory Boardwhich has made it clear that graduates of this program needand in-depth, hands-on, real-world experiential learningactivity in the motorsports industry.

ESI 4. Learning Outcome/Objectives: 1.Students will demonstrate their ability to operate effectivelywhile imbedded in a race team, or equivalent, situation,analyzing data, synthesizing conflicting inputs, integrating thevarious needs of the organization and making appropriatetechnical decisions.2.Students will integrate their theoretical and practicallearning and apply it to a real world motorsports industryscenario.3.Students will communicate effectively, in both oral andwritten communications.

ESI 5. Learning Assessment: Individual Project Report 60 %Interim Report 20 %Performance Evaluation 20 %The final report details all activities of the student'sinvolvement in the practicum experience, including tasksperformed analyses performed, and problems solved.Theinterim report will cover the same material as the final report,but at an intermediate stage so that student and facultymember can ensure that the practicum is on the right track.The rubric shown in the syllabus will be used for both.
