As a project sponsor, you will join a list of very select companies/组织 who support our students in the future of global work. 你会得到一些最好的 and brightest students in the MIS Department to work as your private consultants on 您选择的项目. The project team of 3-5 students will be responsible for the whole project including defining requirements, designing the product, implementing it (or getting it ready to turn over to the sponsor for implementation), developing 用户手册，提供培训等. 视具体项目而定.

Since students are participating in the 商业荣誉计划 for college course credit, there is no charge to you (although donations to the program are appreciated if you feel you have received exceptional value). 作为一个额外的好处，您可以预览 these students for potential future hires. See what previous sponsors say about the 经验.

We undertake projects for a variety of businesses, non-profit, government, and educational 组织. Experience says that students are most successful in 组织 that are reasonably well-established (i.e., past the initial start-up phase), big 足够成为一个真正的组织.e., more than a handful of people), and located 在南海湾地区.

We look for projects that the sponsoring organization wants and will actually use but not so critical that the organization will be in trouble if the project runs into 困难. Typical projects include developing websites (or portion of a website), smartph一个 applications and small/medium database applications. 我们的项目越来越多 involve identifying appropriate products or software services and getting them set 了正确的.

这个项目应该是“独立的", either a totally independent project or a separable chunk of a larger project to 避免关键依赖. The project does not need to require development from 刮伤. 严格的研究项目(i.e., projects where the final deliverable is a report) are not appropriate for this class. The projects must require implementation of at least a demonstration system or prototype.

Our start and finish dates are firm and based on the university calendar. 范围 needs to be appropriate for a full two semester project for the team.

您的支持是项目成功的关键. You do not need to know the technology (though 如果你有，那很好). You do need to have a clear understanding of your business requirements and what you want the project to do. 您将需要提供任何内容 (e.g., text and images for a website), test data for a database, etc. 你需要 to be available to meet with your student team at least once per week and be able to respond promptly to email and ph一个 queries from your students. 请只要求 a team if you are committed to following through with the project for the entire two 学期班(九月至五月).

All projects start at the beginning of the academic year so the best time to contact the Practicum Course Coordinator about a project is in early August. 协调器 will help you evaluate the nature and scope of your project with regard to student 能力和班级要求. We do keep a running list of prospective sponsors and projects, so contact the Coordinator any time. 请发邮件或来电洽谈 你的具体情况:

For the Honors Practicum, we will officially confirm shortly before the beginning of the semester if we will be able to undertake your project. 然而，我们会做到的 had several conversations about the project before the beginning of the semester, so you will know early if your project is likely to be assigned.
