PART 1 : The final project for this course is the creation of an internet-based professional portfolio.
Throughout your program experience you will maintain an electronic portfolio to demonstrate technological, professional, interpersonal, and leadership growth and competencies. You may add or remove items you perceive are representative of your most substantial demonstration of growth and achievements as you proceed through your coursework.
The portfolio is a collection of materials that indicates your progress toward mastery of program outcomes throughout the program experience. The end product will be a professional portfolio of artifacts to showcase the knowledge, skills, dispositions, and abilities gained through your undergraduate career. A professional portfolio is an authentic way to demonstrate competency for future employers, and it serves as evidence of the claims made in your professional statement and résumé.
This course represents the integration of previous coursework and practical experience with a focus on an authentic demonstration of the competencies outlined by the program. You will present a professional portfolio containing a collection of performance-based artifacts combined with metacognitive reflection and a professional statement of purpose that reflects your ability to make globally, socially, and ethically responsible information technology and systems decisions that are in line with legal and organizational policy requirements. This course is structured around this final project so that you have the appropriate support and resources required to be successful.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final submission will occur in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following program/course outcomes:
Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions
Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline
Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts
Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles
Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline
Identify and analyze user needs and to take them into account in the selection, creation, integration, evaluation, and administration of computing based systems
Prompt
You will submit an internet-based professional portfolio that includes:
I. Artifacts: Select artifacts/exemplars that demonstrate your proficiency with the knowledge, skills, abilities, or dispositions described in each program/course outcome. These artifacts can come from the courses in this program, work experience, recreations of tasks in other situations, and other experiences that you feel demonstrate your ability to meet the outcomes.
II. Reflections
a) Briefly describe each artifact you have chosen. What is the item? When was it created? What was the original purpose of the item?
b) Justify how the artifact demonstrates that you have met the outcome. What knowledge, skills, dispositions, or abilities did you need to
demonstrate competency in when creating this artifact? Why did you select this item? What specific components of the artifact showcase the skills you are referring to?
c) What did you learn as you were creating the artifact? What challenges were you faced with when using these skills? Would you do anything differently if you were asked to recreate this artifact? How did this item set you up for success in the real world?
III. Professional Statement: Articulate the skills from the outcomes and reflection into a professional statement. This statement should be formed as the advertisement for potential employers that gives them specific reasons to hire you. What skills do you have? Where will these skills be showcased in your résumé? How will these skills add to your overall qualifications and/or technical skills?
Your work is expected to meet the highest professional standards. Remember, you are selling yourself as much as you are selling your ideas
