progress reporting project planning engineering design process user interface prototyping software design documents management demonstration skillsThe goal of this project is to work with teams of students to create a project plan, analyze and specify requirements for their project and develop a design. Prototype demonstrations and periodic oral and written progress reports are required from the students to help assure steady progress.
To achieve the project goal, learners should produce a variety of documents throughout the course. These documents include a management plan, project abstracts, a requirements specification, a user interface prototype document, and a design document consisting of architectural and detailed design elements.
- Regular Communication: The employer will maintain open communication with the learners throughout the project. They will provide guidance, feedback, and clarification when needed.
- Resource Access: Learners will have access to any necessary documents, data, or resources provided by the employer.
- Feedback Loop: Learners can expect timely feedback on their project proposal, progress, and final deliverables, helping them refine their consultancy skills.
About the company
Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes got its start in several downtown Kalamazoo congregations in the early 1980's. A group of individuals recognized that their neighbors were struggling to put food on the table so they took up the charge to fill the food gap. What they didn't know at the time is that their initiative to lend a hand would have a profound impact on our community. Today, those efforts have grown into an organization that, while no longer religiously affiliated, welcomes people of all faiths. With help from people of all beliefs and backgrounds, we provide an average of 700 people with groceries each day.
Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes is a 'Food Bank Plus.' This means that we acquire food through donations and our pennies-on-the-pound purchasing power, and distribute food at 77 distribution sites throughout Kalamazoo County via our five food programs.
