Created an application that will enable users to make reservations and order food ahead of time so it’s ready when they arrive.
Course
Capstone Prototype
This project required groups to develop a prototype as a solution to an existing problem, while also creating a logical business plan.
Bonus Assignment Write Up
This assignment was a research essay on a current relevant topic on data analytics. I chose to write about cloud computing and how it is used for data management within organizations
MIS3501 Points Project
Sonny
Sonny Shines Window
This project’s goal was to learn and apply the skill of programming in a real life example. As far as results go, the application I created functions as a quote generator that calculates a price based on the number of windows on a building, the application features a working form that takes orders, and lastly the application provides employees of generating reports with a list of orders on it protected by a password. The link to the project is here http://misdemo.temple.edu/tug18271/SonnyShinesWindow. I learned how to tie everything that was taught in MIS 3501 together through a practical challenge.
ITACS Project
I was selected in working with Ryan on the ITACS project where we worked to identify and secure vulnerabilities on the virtual networks I created in MIS 2501.
Chair’s Message – March 2018

Our MIS students learn from world-class faculty who are leaders in research and exploring cutting-edge topics. Learn how Konstantin Bauman uses artificial intelligence to create software to help students find their weaknesses to recommend what to study.
Catch up with alumni Ying Liang-Chai (BBA 2002) and Sameer Anand (BBA 2012), who are applying what they learned in the MIS program in their careers. Also learn more about Gord Burch (Ph.D. 2013), who recently won two international early career awards for his research.
We are also preparing the next generation of MIS students for success through the recently updated Professional Achievement Program (PRO), breaking new ground in motivating personal branding and professional development. Read about the accomplishments of our current and graduating students, including the all-MIS student team that won the analytics track of the Fifth Annual Temple Analytics Challenge and the winning team of the Fall Capstone Project Showcase that used cloud-based technology to streamline the lab equipment procurement process.
Capstone projects focus on analytics, matching, procurement, biometrics, and contact management
MIS seniors presented final projects at the Fall 2017 Capstone Project Showcase. The showcase featured ten teams of seniors who presented projects on everything from automated grocery store checkout to a better way to find events in the area.
The winning team, which was selected by a panel of industry experts and Temple faculty, designed a platform for engineers to procure and track equipment for universities and makerspaces. The platform uses digital forms and cloud technology to procure lab equipment transparently. Mentored by Chris Cera, CEO of Arcweb Technologies, the Sandbox team of Shawn Niederriter, Ed Lahm, Zach Trona, and Ken Fong received a $500 prize.
The full roster of projects presented at the December 2017 event included:

Remote connection top Azure VM with Linux Distribution
I previously had Linux installed on my chromebook so I am able to install programs that would otherwise not be possible. This was crucial in my completion of other MIS courses that required MYSQL, XAMPP, and Netbeans. There are a number of remote desktop clients available for Linux. I chose to use Remmina which is the most widely used as i’ve found in my research. When I go to connect to the VM I created, I use the RDP file that is downloaded when pressing the “Connect” button on Azure. At first, the file was not able to be read by Remmina. After more research I found that the text file that is downloaded has some protocols in it that can’t be read by the Remmina program. Now, each time I connect, I open the RDP in a text editor and delete the last line. After that, I am able to upload the RDP in Remmina and connect successfully.
