Course Description:

  • This is an SMU-X course designed in collaboration with CitiVentures Innovation Lab. Citibank will supply a minimum of 5 projects ideas to select from.
  • Students will form teams of 5 or 6, and select one of the Citibank project ideas to work on. Project selections do not need to be unique, meaning multiple teams can select the same project idea.
  • Each student project team will be assigned to a Citibank sponsor and an SMU faculty supervisor.
  • Citibank will provide project scope and management for student teams to have practical industry learning experiences.
  • Student teams will have weekly check in meetings, either virtually or physically, with their Citibank sponsor.
  • Citibank will specify the technologies to be used, including; development tools/languages, OS, database, 3rd party libraries, target deployment environment e.g. cloud environment.

Project deliverable:

  1. Student project teams will be expected to develop a working software application prototype, to be delivered to Citibank at the end of the course.
  2. A formal, in-person midterm and final presentation will be facilitated by Citibank.
