Pre-recorded video presentation Information:
Students should create a pre-recorded video presentation no longer than twenty minutes (but close to twenty). It can be created in any manner the team and faculty advisor feel appropriate. The video will be public facing and is to be loaded to the Drexel servers and anyone with a link to the video will be able to view it. So, if you have sensitive corporate information, please clear it with the stakeholder to ensure it's ok to disclose it. The instructions for loading the video are: Here. The instructions for recording with Kultura can be found here. Once the video is created your project leader can add the Kultura link to the project creation page so that it will appear on your project's page
Project and Team Formation:
Standard teams can be made up of 5 to 6 CCI students from the same section of Senior Project. Teams should be diverse; therefore it is strongly encouraged that teams are formed with students form multiple degree programs. Students are expected to either select a pre-approved project or come up with their own idea. However, if student come up with their own concept the project must be approved by their instructor. They must also find an external stakeholder. Senior Project is meant to teach good software engineering principles and part of that process is learning to deal with a stakeholder.
Multidisciplinary projects are strongly encouraged. There are no rules related to the composition of a team for teams with students completely from CCI. Any mix of majors is acceptable. Collaborating with Digital Media groups in the past has led to very interesting projects. Given the structure of Digital Media projects and CCI group in most cases will operate as two disjoint but collaborative teams. Both teams must have a minimum of 5 members. The Digital Media groups will be graded by Digital Media faculty and the CCI team will graded by CCI faculty. The CCI faculty will look to the Digital Faculty for guidance in terms of scope.
Multidisciplinary projects with other colleges within the university are also encouraged. These projects are approved on a case by case basis. Two options exist. The CCI student joins another college's Senior Project/Design and the CCI student follows the project schedule for that college. Their grade is determined primarily by the other college's professor and procedures. The student will still register for the CCI senior project courses and will a) meet periodically with the CCI instructor to discuss their contribution to the project, b) submit their work products to the CCI instructor for review. Ideally, more than one CCI student would join the team. The second option is to create a collaborative, but disjoint team from the team outside of CCI. The team would work closely with the other team, but follow the guidelines of a traditional CCI team.
Student Hosting Services for Capstone Projects:
Drexel Hosted:
The Tux support page is available at CCI Technology Services And Support Site.
Information on the VM resources is available at CCI Technology Services And Support Site.
AWS is the preferred environment for most projects. Exceptions exist, so please check with your Senior Project Faculty Advisor to get approval for your location. For example, data security might prohibit.
In order to use AWS you must create a monthly budget with the specific resources you plan to use. Get approval from your faculty advisor and then email Jeff Salvage the spreadsheet generated from the AWS calculator at the following link. Please do so by the end of the 4th week of class. We hope to get resources to you by the end of the 6th week of class.
