An internship program based upon problem-based learning (PBL) and student-centered mentor- ing is developed. Food science ma- jors are introduced to the program in their sophomore/junior year and follow a process that involves learn- ing-style assessments, career coun- seling, and direct contact with in- dustrial mentors to develop a re- sume. The problems are designed in collaboration with a faculty advisor so the students can apply their knowledge to industrial situations. Assessment of performance is con- ducted by having students submit weekly journal entries and a final report and participate in a closing interview. The journals and reports are graded on 6 aspects of a peda- gogical reasoning model: Compre- hension, transformation, implemen- tation, evaluation, reflection, and new comprehension. This trains students to use a range of knowl- edge within a restrained environ- ment, as well as assisting students to refine the critical food science and interpersonal skills needed for successful careers after graduation. |
