Course Description

This course combines students from computer science and information technology programs with students taking a course offered by another academic department into interdisciplinary teams that solve a problem or create a prototype product within the domain of that application discipline or disciplines. Student teams analyze problems or opportunities in the disciplinary application domain. They use rapid prototyping techniques that combine off-the-shelf software and custom software to create a prototype software system, and they present or exhibit this system to an audience interested in the domain.

Prerequisite: Completion of 18 CSC credits, numbered 120 or higher AND a GPA of 2.25 in the CSC courses AND Junior status.
