The IT Expo features projects by graduating seniors of bachelor’s degree programs, projects by high school students, research projects by master’s and doctoral degree students and innovative projects by partner companies.

The projects are focused on risk management and frameworks, process automation, education and health care, community, cybersecurity awareness and operations and digital immersion. 

“I am impressed with the final results to apply their skills and create the solution,” said Bekah Michael, associate professor-educator in the School of IT. “But I’m also really impressed with the problems they identify.”

Michael teaches the senior design course, which includes approximately 200 students who will present projects at the IT Expo.

During their junior year, the students spent a semester identifying problems as part of a prep class, usually in teams of three to five people. During the fall and spring semesters of their senior year, the teams created a technology solution to solve the problem as a capstone project.

Senior projects being presented this year include a web browser extension that helps users safely manage passwords, a medication tracking app for phones, a web application for mapping and tracking public safety alerts, a web application that tracks streaming movie options across multiple platforms and more.
