CCI’s Senior Project is part of a multi-term capstone experience involving in-depth study and application of computing and informatics. Students work in teams to develop a significant product requiring use of a development process that includes planning, specification, design, implementation, evaluation, and documentation. Projects are often conceived by external stakeholders who guide the requirements process and ultimately use the resulting application. Groups may be interdisciplinary with students from varied departments within the College of Engineering and the Digital Media Program.
Projects are judged in a multi-level competition on originality, compliance with software engineering principles, completion, and their successful deployment.
The top 3 projects in the following categories will be recognized: corporate-sponsored, entrepreneurial, humanitarian, games, security, and research.
The winners have been announced for 2021-2022. View them here.
Project ideas are ilicited from industry, academia, and from the students themselves.
Students develop plans after gathering requirements and/or building prototypes.
Requirements are converted into comprehensive designs at many levels of detail.
Designs are materialized into functional products via a series of iterations.
Formal testing is carried out using tools like unit-testing.
Final products are delivered to the stakeholders for deployment.
Each year CCI’s Senior Project competition is assessed by a panel of external judges selected from local industry. Often the judges have a strong tie to Drexel's Computer of Computing and Informatics.
