In my Spring 2018 semester (the current one as of this post), I will be taking the Information Systems Capstone, which acts as a replacement for my internship requirement to graduate. This means the class will involve a full-semester-long project that replicates something we would do in the working world.
As a group, we must propose to a Fortune 500 company why they should invest in Augmented Reality to help them save or earn more money. This involves a 10,000 word report detailing the opportunity, an explanation of the proposed solution, technical architecture, financial justification, and the implementation plan, an interactive dashboard that assists our argument to implement AR, and a manual detailing dashboard use, underlying financial analysis, and technical infrastructure.
The project overall is quite the undertaking, requiring us to form a Sprint Workplan to stay on track during the semester, as well as weekly status reports with the professor. Everything is on us to research and create, with the only assistance from the class being the project scope and requirements. It also combines many aspects of what will be required from myself as an ITSS major, requiring not only visualization and technical experience, but the expertise to properly communicate in words a business pitch. This will all be presented to a Microsoft representative for judging, as well as being graded by the professor.
Overall this will be the most intensive class I will have taken in terms of work required and experience gained. As such, I will be sharing various milestones or relevant updates to show progress or to test various aspects of the class. It will be a great learning experience, and I'm excited to share about it!
Stay tuned for future updates and thanks for reading!
