The Company's Role

ICS offers real-world capstone courses that last 10–20 weeks, driven by projects provided by outside partners – corporations, government organizations, educational institutions, or nonprofits. Guided by the instructor and leveraging best practices that we teach throughout our programs, these projects ensure students gain the hands-on experience and soft skills needed for future success, all while building marketable products for the partners. These projects can also serve as a great recruitment tool for local organizations.

All three ICS departments — Computer Science, Informatics and Statistics — offer undergraduate capstone courses. ICS also offers capstone courses through its Master of Computer Science (MCS), Master of Data Science (MDS), Master of Human-Computer Interaction and Design (MHCID) and Master of Software Engineering (MSWE) professional programs.

Projects frequently tie-in to modern technological trends and involve developing new web applications and portals, online or cloud computing services, or tablet and mobile applications. At the same time, quite a few of our partners wish to explore new ideas or business opportunities concerning their proprietary products, which is equally encouraged.
