In both the fall and Spring semesters, cohorts of Seniors presented their final projects which marked the culmination of their learnings in the MIS program. In the Fall, the showcase featured ten teams of seniors who presented projects on everything from automated grocery store checkout to a better way to find events in the area. The winning team, which was selected by a panel of industry experts and Temple faculty, designed a platform for engineers to procure and track equipment for universities and makerspaces. The platform uses digital forms and cloud technology to procure lab equipment transparently.
Mentored by Chris Cera, CEO of Arcweb Technologies, the team behind ‘sandbox’ of Shawn Niederriter, Ed Lahm, Zach Trona, and Ken Fong received a $500 prize. From streamlining the dining experience to changing the way families care for ailing loved ones, the Spring MIS Capstone Showcase demonstrated the transformative impact of technology. Nine teams of seniors from three classes, as selected by their professors, presented their final projects.
The winning team, which was selected by a panel of industry experts and Temple faculty, designed an application geared toward urbanites looking for an enjoyable night out. The app uses real-time data to give insight into the crowd and experience at a given location, while also acting as a marketing tool for bar owners. Mentored by Sondra Barbour, Member of the Board of Directors at 3M, Bridgette Brodnyan, Sean Dougherty, Kevin Lynch, and Marlea Tremper took home the prize for best project of the night.
