INFS4850 - Cis Capstone

Course Description: This course is a capstone course requiring students to complete a semester-long project that synthesizes the knowledge and skills gained throughout the Computer Information Systems program. Students work in teams to develop a solution for a project or problem in information systems. Projects may include the analysis, design, implementation, and/or testing of an information system based on either a case study or real-life scenario, at the discretion of the instructor. Students develop a proposal for the project that includes a plan for implementation broken into phases that will be completed at milestones throughout the semester. As part of the plan, students on each team assume specific roles and have assignments that are associated with that role. Once the plan is approved by the instructor, teams will treat it as a contract and must deliver the proposed project by the end of the semester, meeting each milestone. Throughout the process, students utilize professional communication skills as they present their work in a variety of oral and written formats. Students reflect on team dynamics and modern communication methods that mimic those used in global enterprises today. 3 credits
