Looking to solve an organizational problem with a technical solution?
As the Director of Management Information Systems, I am looking to source a number of projects for our senior capstone class running this Spring semester. MIS majors focus on business technology and apply their technological knowledge to operational, analytical, security, and software development problems. The intersection of these skill sets forms a unique way to assist organizations / businesses run both more effectively and efficiently. If you have a project with the scope of ~ 3 months that 3 - 4 undergraduate MIS students could work on please consider reaching out to be a project sponsor.
Sponsors work directly with the student team to determine deliverables, points of communication and scope of work. Members not only meet with sponsors, but also are mentored by me through the semester being advised on resources, scoping, and best practices.The students culminate the semester with a hand-off of all deliverables and documentation to the sponsor, make an oral presentation, conduct a peer and class review, and prepare a written report.
Past projects have included building web apps, databases, automated forms, spreadsheet models, websites, basic software development or customization, and data analysis. A sponsorship fee is included to support the project costs. This fee is flexible on a sliding scale especially for nonprofits and internal departments to the university. Please note that students are not allowed payment for project participation from the sponsor.
If you are interested please fill out this form. We are looking for project prompts from our sponsors within the next 2 weeks.
Thank you!
