Project Examples

Capstone group projects run for a duration of one semester, five to six students are engaged with a real client (Business enterprise). There is no fee, or any payment made by the client; secondary research & analysis are done by the students and no exchange of money takes place.

These projects, in the second semester of the program offer an experiential learning experience; students work as a consulting team to assist a company (Client) with a business process development/modification opportunity.

At the end of the term, by the third week of April the student group will hand in a report & make a presentation. The report will typically cover the As-Is state (Current process), gap analysis, To-Be state, some alternatives & an implementation/action plan.
