Project Examples
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates a structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Project examples that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Web site design and development
- Web application design and development
- Database development/implementation
- Interactive product pages
- UI/UX design and evaluation
- Graphic Design
The above list are examples, and you are welcome to propose other projects in the area of design and web development.
Students will have knowledge of the following web technologies:
- HTML
- CSS
- SASS
- Javascript
- PHP
- MySQL
- Laravel
- Vue.js
