but in place of the standard general education courses, direct IT Honors students to a selection of courses in the various disciplines that fully integrate IT ideas, methods, and challenges into the curriculum. | |
Internship: | Each student in the IT Honors Program shall be required to spend one [summer] term in a business or industry internship position (e.g., at Thinkstream, Inc.) utilizing and further developing their IT skills. |
Web Portfolio: | The final project in each approved IT General Education course shall include the development of a fully web-based document that highlights the student's individual accomplishments in that course. |
Each student shall complete an honor's thesis within her or his home academic department and the thesis shall be presented as a fully web-accessible document. | |
At the time of graduation, each student's web-based portfolio shall be given proper copyright and archived within the LSU Digital Library. | |
Facilities: | Ideally, we would like to make available to students in the IT Honors Program an attractive and functional "central" IT-enhanced facility where they will naturally congregate and thereby share ideas and experiences. |
