ISM 497 - Senior Seminar I: Project Conceptualization (3)

Prerequisites: Senior standing and permission.

With the guidance of a faculty member, students will engage in a two-tiered and two-phase project: (1) develop a mentoring/coaching relationship with an area IT/IS professional for the purpose of career development and (2) develop a research or experiential project which will demonstrate the knowledge and skills expected upon completion of the major. This project, including a written and oral presentation to be delivered at the end of ISM 498, will demonstrate a solid understanding of the major, as well as the confidence and skills to work with existing and emerging aspects of the professional field, to do independent research and effective problem-solving, to communicate effectively, and to demonstrate a synthesis of the project with career plans and intentions.
