The projects will be presented to the class at the end of the semester. The project may be an individual one, or you can form groups of 2-4 people. Individual projects may be a research paper on a relevant topic to the course. Papers are expected to be 15-20 pages in length. Group projects are different from individual projects.
Students are to look for a business problem at work, in a family business, or through contacts.
Using the concepts that are presented in class as well as further research, students should propose a recommended solution. Projects can take on many different forms and lengths, but generally a good place to start is by following the outline of the System Development Life Cycle which will be discussed in class. Other groups whose projects consist mostly of researching of a problem and a recommended solution need to turn in a 15-20 page report. Solutions generally do not need to be implemented, though prototypes for databases and web sites are expected. Sources of information.
