Is there an app for that? This January, a new projects class, iPhone App Startup, will be offered to business and programming students under the instruction of Engineer professor and part-time business owner, Professor VanderLeest.
Students will have the opportunity to work in groups, business majors with computer science and engineers, to develop their own app for the iPhone leaving the class with a prototype.
The best performing student will have the opportunity to be considered for a position at a start up iPhone App Company.
Professor VanderLeest said, “If a team comes up with a good idea, they will know what forms to fill out, and be able to walk out [of the class] with the ability to start their own business.”
Every student will go through app development training so that business students become familiar with the process of starting up an app, and technical students will learn, through the professor and guest panelists, main concepts about marketing and entrepreneurship.
Due to time limitations, students will only develop savvy for iPhone apps, but they will also think through using their apps in other platforms such as the Droid and Blackberry.
