Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from the Computer Science program at the University of Detroit Mercy to be your learner-consultants in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed through virtual communication tools.


Learners in this program/experience will:

  1. Analyze and Solve Complex Problems: Equipped with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, our learners can dissect complex issues, develop innovative solutions, and implement them effectively.
  2. Develop and Implement Software Solutions: With proficiency in various programming languages (such as Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript), learners can design, develop, and deploy software/web/mobile applications tailored to your organization's needs.
  3. Utilize Cutting-edge Technologies: Our learners are adept in modern technologies and methodologies including machine learning, artificial intelligence, Data Mining, and data analytics. They can integrate these technologies to enhance your projects.
  4. Collaborate and Communicate Effectively: Trained in agile methodologies and collaborative tools (like Git, Jira, and Slack), learners can work efficiently in teams, ensuring smooth communication and project management.
  5. Conduct Comprehensive Research and Testing: Learners are skilled in conducting thorough research, testing, and validation to ensure the solutions they develop are robust, scalable, and meet the required specifications.


By engaging with our learners, your organization will benefit from fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and cutting-edge technical skills. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to mentor emerging talent and potentially identify future hires who are already familiar with your company and its projects.
