An estimated 15 teams of Michigan State University undergraduate juniors and seniors are ready and waiting to help business, government and nonprofit organizations and MSU researchers solve digital problems. As part of their final course in the information technology minor, students are required to work in cross-functional teams on a real-world project. They just need a few more “clients.”
Teagan Dixon, fixed-term faculty in the Department of Accounting and Information Systems, and Tom Day, assistant professor in the Department of Media and Information in MSU’s College of Communication Arts and Sciences, who are teaching the course, say the students are capable of taking on a wide range of projects. Each team will be composed of students majoring in business, media and information, finance, supply chain management, engineering and other majors. So far, they’ve already completed successful projects like these:
Project proposals are now being accepted from business, government or nonprofit organizations and MSU researchers seeking student help for the spring 2024 semester, which begins in January and extends through April. The ideal project is hands-on, with a well-defined outcome that can be achieved by five students in about 10 weeks.
To submit a project for consideration, please contact instructors Dixon and Day no later than Jan. 20.
