Examples:

1. Application development – build a working system, prototype or proof of concept. Students will develop a new application or build upon/integrate existing applications into a new system. Working in teams they will experience in the life cycle of a system from concept through delivery. They will deliver a working system that addresses a real problem.

1. Technology prototype – experiment by evaluating the capabilities of similar or competing technologies addressing a business-IT problem. The focus here is a deep understanding and benchmarking of existing technology or applications.

Project deliverable:

• Application project: 1) a system prototype; 2) documentation of the system
• Research project: 1) a system prototype; 2) an implementation and evaluation report
