MIS and Supply Chain Management Student Projects
| Project Overview |
|
Direct involvement in real business activity is one of the cornerstones of educating business students at the Raj Soin College of Business. Students in the Management Information Systems (MIS) and Supply Chain Management programs can gain that experience through Wright State's MIS/OM student project class. Our project class provides a wide range of services to local businesses and nonprofit organizations, while at the same time helping MIS/OM students meet their requirement to complete a "real-life" project in their senior year. Three or four students work together as a team, under the guidance of the professional staff and business partner, to focus on the solution to a unique problem defined by the business participant. |

Management information systems projects focus on PC-based systems. The scope of the work must be defined so that it can be reasonably completed within one school term (10 weeks). The students can be expected to analyze, design, implement, and evaluate project areas such as:
- System Effectiveness
- Requirements Determination
- Software Tools
- Procurement
- Installation/ checkout
- Training
