The Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management cordially invites you to attend a prospective student information session for Design Studio. Learn what it means and takes to become a Design Studio Associate!
Design Studio is a yearlong project learning experience within the Raikes School. In Design Studio, teams of juniors and seniors partner with sponsoring businesses and government agencies to design and develop real-world, software-based solutions meeting each sponsor’s needs. Students gain architecture, technology, process, project management, teamwork, and leadership skills essential in today’s professional development world. Design Studio gives students and sponsors the ability to interact and create innovative software-based solutions, while benefiting from the support of Raikes School faculty and facilities.
The Design Studio class works with local and regional companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Hudl, Mutual of Omaha, and many others. The projects go through the entire software development life cycle. These projects vary in subject matter, but all end in an innovative technology deliverable. Students are able to work with numerous exciting technologies including .NET, Java EE, Web Services, iOS, XML, cloud, etc. and get to learn from and collaborate with many experts in the field.
There will be between 12 and 16 projects next year with teams made up of five to seven very talented junior and senior students. There are also several ways Design Studio can fit into your academic plans and count towards your degree and graduation.
If you are going to be a junior or senior this entire upcoming academic year, attend the information session April 7th at 5:30 p.m. to learn more about this project based class and becoming an Associate. The session will be held in the Kauffman Center (north of the Student Union) in the Great Hall (Room 122). There will be complimentary pizza and pop provided. RSVP to Jeremy Suing at jsuing@cse.unl.edu or (402) 472-1658.
