PROFESSIONALISM
of work ethic and excellence.
 Senior Capstone Courses

Students must work in teams to design and implement

projects. Often, those projects involve consideration of
real-world issues including cost, safety, efficiency, and
suitability for the intended user. Students could develop
their own projects, but they may also elicit projects from
outside clients. Although the emphasis of the course is
on project management and student presentations, some
material on intellectual property rights, copyrights,
patents, law, and ethics may be included.
Professionalism, Ethics, and Law Course

Students are expose to issues of professional practice,

ethical behavior, and computer law, geographical limits
of the jurisdiction of different country courts. Relevant
curricular content may be impacts of computing, social
issues of computing on society, computing careers, legal
and ethical responsibilities, international computer laws
and the computing profession
 Practicum/Internship/Co-op Programs

Students typically work during the summers and/or from

one to three semesters while they engage in their four-
year degree. The students who do a co-op or internship
generally do so off-campus and may interrupt their
education for a summer or a semester. Students usually
receive payment for their work, and in some cases, they
may also receive course credit
 Team-based DevOps Courses

These courses emphasize the process of IT system

development and operations and typically include a team
project and continuous value delivery. Course
competencies include continuous planning,
development, integration and testing, release and
deployment, and infrastructure monitoring and
optimization. Professional practice specific to these
courses emphasizes shared goals, responsibility,
collective ownership, constant communication, and
continuous experimentation.
 Seminars on Trends and Change in IT

Many new occupations have emerged in recent years

such as security specialists, big data analysts, user
experience designers, full-stack developers, software-
defined networking architects, and cloud computing
operators. IT programs could provide lectures or
seminars that would help students understand the job
market, so they will be able to transfer skills to future
job positions.
 Entrepreneurial Innovation Courses

The IT industry needs innovation and companies to

provide new technologies and more job opportunities.
These courses discuss the basics every manager needs to
organize successful technology-driven innovation in
established firms, which will integrate creativity and
design thinking in the organizational functions of
engineering, management, communication and
commerce. The students will evaluate, research, write,
and present organization plans using their knowledge of
the entrepreneurial process
