ISMG 6910 - Design Science Practicum

This is designed to be one of the final courses in the MS Information Systems degree. “Design Thinking” with user-centered perspectives will serve as a guiding principle to challenge assumptions and refine business problems to perform the final project. The instructor will provide students with tools and methods to identify, define and solve problems. Active discussion and creative presentation are core activities of this capstone course. Students will integrate what they have learned into a final project that can be either real-world problem designed in collaboration with an organization or a research paper on an emerging topic in the field. The final project will have multiple deliverables including a paper and a professional presentation to stakeholders who are directly related with the business problems defined in the project. Restrictions: Restricted to graduate majors and NDGR majors with a sub-plan of NBA within the Business School, graduate majors within the College of Engineering, Design and Computing, PHCS PhD majors and PhD majors.
