Neumont’s goal is to prepare industry ready professionals equipped to hit the ground running following graduation. To accomplish this goal, we partner with leaders in the tech industry on Enterprise Projects. Enterprise Projects consist of a local or national company supervising a small team of Neumont senior students for one quarter (10 weeks) as they deliver, test, and present a completed technical project.

Enterprise Projects are completed in the final three quarters, or senior year. Students will complete either a single on-going project for one company that spans multiple quarters, or work with a different company on a separate project each quarter, depending on their degree program.

Project teams are strategically selected by the Neumont Enterprise Project Committee and teams consist of 2-5 students whose strengths, personalities, and skill sets best benefit the project requirements.

This is an opportunity for students to experience a variety of positions including team lead, project manager, developer, designer, or business analyst. Neumont’s Enterprise Project Committee will advise and grade the project team in tandem with the partnering company according to the team’s performance, professionalism, and quality of project work.

Throughout this process, students have the guidance and support of Neumont’s Corporate Relations team who manage the Enterprise Project courses.

They prepare students for industry and ensure they have the necessary tools to thrive in building a résumé, conducting mock-interviews, navigating LinkedIn, and teaching students how to professionally network.

Does a student complete more than one Enterprise Project at a time? 

Students are enrolled in Enterprise Projects the final three quarters of their senior year. During these quarters, students will either complete a single on-going project for one company that spans multiple quarters, or work with a different company on a separate project each quarter, depending on their degree program.  

What is the project team dynamic? 

Project teams consist of 2-5 students whose strengths, personalities, and skill sets best benefit the project requirements. This is an opportunity for students to experience a variety of positions including team lead, project manager, developer, designer, or business analyst just to name a few. Team structures are selected by the Neumont Enterprise Projects Committee.  

Who manages and grades the project team?  

Once enrolled and assigned an Enterprise Project, students will report to both a Neumont Enterprise Project instructor and an advisor from the partnering company. Students are graded by the course instructor. 

ENTERPRISE PROJECT EXAMPLES

What sort of work does a student tackle in an Enterprise Project? Below are two overviews of recent projects Neumont students worked on.

Example 1:

An Enterprise Partner tasked our students with creating a progressive web application designed and developed to provide users with the means to manage a fleet of IoT devices, which are used to protect networks from unknown threats. Through the creation of this web application, our students gained experience using Cloud Technologies like Microsoft Azure's Mapping API that provides a mapping solution for locating each IoT device. This Enterprise Project taught our students the importance of adaptability in the evolving field of device interfaces and Big Data. Key Technologies used: C#, Blazor, JavaScript, REST, Docker, Azure Services.

EXAMPLE 2:

An Enterprise Partner company recently built a new web interface for their portfolio of software written in Angular and Typescript. As they continued to add features, it was critical they kept their existing software free from bugs and they enlisted Neumont students to handle this task. Our students gained experience as they worked alongside the partner company to automate testing initiatives on all their new web interfaces using Cypress.io. This allowed them to build fast, easy, and reliable automated tests written in JavaScript. This Enterprise Project emphasized the importance of QA automation in the industry today. Key technologies used: Cypress.io, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Angular, TypeScript, NGXS, REST.
