Partnership
Partnership through Student Course Project
Selected business analytics courses offered at Stetson University have a course project requirement, in which groups of three or four students devote significant time and effort examining an organization’s analytics needs and develop solutions to address the needs. Interested stakeholders are invited to partner with the center to arrange an assignment of a project group that will work with the stakeholder under the supervision of the course instructor. Faculty will mentor and supervise the groups while the industry partner provides practical expertise, data, and domain knowledge. An end-of-semester presentation and final report will be delivered to the partner. The partner also will have first-hand access to the students. The project can serve as a pilot effort for larger, long-term research project to be conducted by faculty and industry experts. External funding and intellectual property can be developed based on the project. Interested stakeholders are invited to browse the topics for research project and partnership.
Course projects and faculty involvement in research projects can produce data-driven solutions to expand organizational analytics capability and to solve data-analtics problems. Industry partners will provide domain knowledge and data to the student team that is supervised by the course faculty who have relevant expertise in the area. The project team will define the problem and prescribe and implement a solution for the organization, typically within a one-semester timeframe. Interested parties should contact Dr. Wingyan Chung to build a partnership.
Partnership through External Grant and Intellectual Property Development
Exciting opportunities exist for conducting joint research projects and building partnerships between Stetson University and stakeholders in several data analytics areas. Grant opportunities from federal funding agencies (e.g., National Science Foundation), local agencies, and private entities are some examples of partnership.
