Partnering Opportunities : Projects
The MIS program at The University of Arizona has been at the forefront of applied research since its inception in 1974 with its pioneering work in group decision making, data management, artificial intelligence, and security among others.
Within research projects, MIS doctoral and master students work under the guidance of one of our faculty members on specific projects that are of mutual interest to both your organization and the MIS faculty.
Students solve real world problems by relating theory learned in the classroom to field experience and organizations gain innovative solutions to their business problem. Students work twenty hours a week from ten months to a full year and conduct specific project work on your organizational project.
Project work can be either well structured or un-structured depending on the nature of the organization and your project leader’s preference. Students work closely with your project leaders to ensure project objectives and standards are met in a timely manner.
Benefits of research projects include:
- Highly motivated students under top-notch faculty guidance, conducting research on your entity's specific project
- Funding treated as a gift, is tax deductible and contributed to a student’s education
- No intellectual property issues since deliverable is considered a student project and not a faculty engagement contract
- Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) not needed, but can be signed if so desired
Samples of projects include (but are not limited to):
- Technology selection and evaluation
- Feasibility studies and proof of concept for new products and services
- Data analytics projects related to demand estimation, diagnostic systems, market segmentation
- Competitive intelligence capture and analysis using advanced web crawlers and analytics
- Work flow analysis and design, process improvement
- Business intelligence/OLAP analysis and design
- Web-based portals and dashboards
