49-792 Software Management Practicum

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

The practicum involves application of the SM program concepts in an actual business environment. Acting as consultants to one or more customers, student teams must scope a project develop a project plan and detailed statement of work. Practicum topics are typically proposed by outside companies, which are looking to work with our students, but there are other options available as well. Students must demonstrate all deliverables to the customers, whose assessment of the work is a major component of the grade. More than a simple internship, the practicum involves real responsibility, teamwork, accountability, and rigor. Students must follow the process for practicum participation outlined in the summer before being able to register into the course.
