Remembering the Structured Systems Analysis and Design course at UMBC. The course required team work on an actual project. I had trouble finding a project to work on. I considered several options. I thought of a website for a family member’s pastry business. I even contacted several companies to inquire about projects I might work on. Those options did not work out. I ended up dropping the course the first time I was supposed to take it.
The second time around, I joined a team formed by two brothers. The brothers had a project to work on because they were employed at a company that allowed them to use the project/problem for school. It was an interesting topic too – it dealt with security incidents, an example is the incident reported and recorded when an employee loses a laptop. The team was called Team Maryland.
