Skills
javascript software development web development node reactStudents will design and implement both a front-end and back-end website or web application for your organization. The application is required to use front-end components (React.js) and back-end services on a Node.js platform. This course gives students the opportunity to practice and apply the knowledge they have gained to create a real-world web application or website. The students will create a proposal for their development project and submit it to their instructor and the company for approval. Once approved, students will develop and demonstrate their project with a final presentation.
Students are able to work in small groups with defined roles for each student (e.g. designer, project manager, front-end developer, or back-end developer) and a designated liaison to communicate with the company.
Pay or stipend is optional but appreciated if the company's budget permits. Companies should have an idea of their costs for launching their project (e.g. domain name, server).
Learners
To ensure a positive experience for all, we are careful to select projects that students can reasonably complete within the timeframe of this project. The coordinator will first have a call with the company to determine the scope of their project, then will discuss it with the instructors to determine what skills would be necessary and how much time would be needed to complete it. If the expectations of the company align with the students' abilities, then we will move forward.
The exact deliverables will vary based on each company's needs. Overall, by the end of the project, students will reach the determined milestones that the company can finalize and implement.
Some examples of deliverables:
- A functioning website/web app
- A presentation and demo of a web app, and access to the code
- A presentation of the design and development
