Project
EG3353/EG3361 Engineering/Software Project Management
Each student will propose, develop, and present management results for a project. Students will include but not limited to a communication matrix, cost estimate, risk matrix, work breakdown structure (WBS) by package and by discipline, estimate of engineering hours by task, and a network schedule. Software related projects are recommended to use in this course.
Some common software project ideas include:
- A campus navigation app for students that integrates maps, events, and bus schedules.
- An online store for a local business with payment integration, inventory management, and customer reviews.
- A patient appointment scheduling and reminder system for a small clinic.
- An adaptive learning platform for high school math that recommends practice problems based on performance.
- A city traffic analysis dashboard that shows congestion, travel times, and accident trends using open datasets.
- A personal finance management app that tracks expenses, budgets, and savings goals.
- A community event planning website that allows users to create, share, and RSVP to local events.
- A fitness tracking app that integrates with wearable devices to monitor workouts, nutrition, and health metrics.
- A recipe sharing platform where users can upload, rate, and comment on cooking recipes.
- A volunteer coordination system for non-profits to manage events, sign-ups, and communications.
- A book recommendation app that suggests titles based on user preferences and reading history.
- A travel itinerary planner that helps users organize trips, book accommodations, and find local attractions.
- A language learning app that uses gamification to teach vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
- A home automation system that allows users to control lights, temperature, and security remotely.
- A job application tracker that helps users manage resumes, cover letters, and interview schedules.
- A social networking site for hobbyists to connect, share projects, and collaborate.
- … and many more!
The examples proposed above can be adapted to develop the project management plan. Please feel free to propose your own software project ideas as well, especially if they align with your personal or professional interests.
