Background:
CCI’s Senior Design Project is part of a multi-term capstone experience involving in-depth study and application of computing and informatics, where students work in teams to develop a significant product. The writing intensive course requires the use of a development process that includes planning, specification, design, implementation, evaluation and documentation. Projects are often conceived by external stakeholders who guide the requirements process and ultimately use the resulting application. Groups may be interdisciplinary with students from varied departments within the College of Engineering and the Digital Media Program within the Westphal College of Media Arts & Design. All CCI seniors are required to complete a three term software engineering project, in which teams of four to seven students are required to specify, design, implement and test a substantial software project. Projects are often conceived by external stakeholders who guide the requirements process and ultimately use the resulting application. Projects are judged in a multi-level competition on originality, compliance with software engineering principles, completion and their successful deployment. Each group will have five minutes setup time, a 20 minute presentation (including Q&A) and will have five minutes to tear down their setup.
