2018 Systems Analyst Capstone Competition

The annual Systems Analyst Capstone Project Competition took place on Wednesday, December 5. Applied Computing Capstones represent the cumulative work of a team of students who engage with an industry partner to develop a technology solution to a non-trivial problem. The project, which is completed over the course of the final year of the program, is integrated with the curriculum and provides students with a practical opportunity to generate a real solution to a real-world problem.

This year, there were a total of 14 Systems Analyst projects completed by students at both the Trafalgar and Davis campuses. The top four projects were determined by faculty, and those four teams were invited to present at the annual Systems Analyst Capstone Project Competition, a significant milestone that showcases their remarkable work.

Adjudicated by a panel of six industry professionals, all teams should be extremely proud of their accomplishments. Having worked tirelessly to overcome the inherent challenges presented when working on such projects, the judges were truly impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, skills and quality of work.

This year’s Systems Analyst Capstone Winning team was Team RADS with their Amazon Echo Application to Manage Meetings. Team members included Raj Patel, Saloni Panchal, Dejoun Robinson and Anthony Rella.

A sincere thank you to the outstanding faculty members who supported the students through their learning journey. And a special shout-out to the administrative staff who planned and organized the event.
