Fall 2018 Internship Poster Showcase

On Wednesday, November 28, 2018, fifteen information communication technology (ICT) undergraduate and graduate students presented their final projects as part of the internship course. Projects ranged from social media analysis to cyber-sickness and from search engine optimization to technology tools for school-aged children. Each semester, students enrolled in the internship course are expected to develop a poster detailing their experience in the internship with reference to a particular project. Take a look at those projects more in detail in this poster presentation program. Additional information about the internship program (ICT 596: Internship in ICT) is available here.
