Overview

Community Engaged Learning at MacEwan University is a project-based teaching-learning strategy that connects classroom theory to challenges experienced in the "real world" by our Community Partners (CP).

Partnership opportunity: no-Fee help with securing your computer systems!

Third year Computer Science students will work with small business and non-profits to review and plan and/build security for your mail, web or file server. They will review your existing system, identify weaknesses, make recommendations and in some cases build a secure server on your PC.

We are seeking one community partner who will be matched with 5 student teams who will work on the same project scope.

Final deliverable depends on your project scope.

Specific dates:

Projects are tied to a student’s overall course mark ,must be completed within a 2-month period and must be managed around varying student schedules. We ask our partners to ensure timely transfer of information and firm commitment to scheduled meetings to support project success. Some of the meetings are during class time and are not flexible.

· In early December 2021, the professor short lists applicable projects that will meet course learning goals.

· In early January 2022, student teams select a project and partners are informed of a match.

· Teams and partners meet (largely virtually) as needed to build and understanding of the issue, refine project goals, and create action plans.

· Teams present final project to partners in early April.
