Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are looking for students who are interested in gaining practical experience by working on analyzing, designing, and implementing real information systems for real clients.  These projects are structured as independent studies and you will receive academic credit (3 credits) upon project completion.  If you chose to accept this mission, be prepared to spend approximately 10 hours a week working on your project. 

These projects are a great opportunity for students to gain experience, build your resume, satisfy the School of Information Sciences capstone requirement and, if you do good job, get recommendation letters from satisfied clients.

If you are interested in working on any of the projects listed below, please contact Dmitriy Babichenko – dmb72@pitt.edu.  Send the name of the project you are interested in and make sure to attach your resume.
