Program Overview and Partnership Invitation Document

This program has been run for several years. We work with 20+ partners every term. We may not be able to respond to messages on Riipen in a timely manner.

Quick summary: students take this course to develop a software application (web, mobile or desktop) for various use cases. Previous examples include mobile apps for finding travelers in a specific community and web-based application for connecting a non-profit to volunteers. If the project information is of interest, please go through the steps mentioned in the document. We will not be able to accept requests here as the proposals need to be chosen by the students in September.

Students will submit three main deliverables:

1- Project plan: The project plan will set the scope of the project and explain what the students aim to do and how they aim to work with the partners and how they want to achieve it.

2- Deliverable 1: Deliverable 1 will be the first working version of the software with minimal functionalities and limited capabilities. This is so the partner can provide feedback and guidance for the next steps.

3- Presentation to Instructor and Partner (You): Students will present the almost final version of their software. You are welcome to attend and observe the presentations and ask any questions they may have at the end.

4- Final Deliverable: This is the final deliverable that is submitted to the teaching team and the partners. This deliverable may not have all the functionalities but supports key use cases.
