Overview
Details

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Miami Dade College to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students in this program/course demonstrate their competence to analyze, design, develop, and test a cloud based complex system. Each student will create and present a cloud-based solution proposal that includes: design documentation, implementation plan, cloud resources required, projected cost analysis, basic security plan and project test plan to create an operational cloud-based system solution.
