Project examples

Starting this September, teams of 3 - 5 students-consultants will spend 30 hours per team working to improve your business processes, information flows, and data storage and retrieval. While being mindful of your vision, mission, business processes, they will:

  • Use object orientation and other information systems modeling techniques;
  • Create various system diagrams for creating system analysis and design documentation;
  • Conduct application software domain analysis and define IS requirements;
  • Design processes, data, user interface and other IS aspects;
  • Assess feasibility of IS;
  • Use software for managing system development projects;
  • Use software for creating documentation for system analysis and design

This project will provide an opportunity to participate in a systems analysis process that will help you understand your needs for software/hardware to improve your business processes and negotiate with a vendor if necessary.
