Project Examples

Based on the information you provide, students will prepare the necessary documentation, design mockups and create software code that represents a working web application. Student teams will work with you to develop and implement websites that achieve reasonable business goals with a focus on supporting service/product offerings. This includes implementing minimum viable product (MVP) websites with only the functionality needed to fulfill the product’s purpose or solve a particular problem. 


Project Examples include, but are not limited to:


  • Build an online retail web application for a small business owner who offers services about crafting custom mugs and personalized bottles.
  • Build a simple web app that helps individuals budget and understand their monthly expenses
  • Build a portfolio website that lists one’s best work and achievements including keys skills, top projects, and hobbies
  • Build a simple eCommerce website with the most basic features such as listing products from various sellers and allowing buyers to search and browse available products of interest
  • Build a restaurant website that allows people to explore the food menu and create a simple online order
  • Build a library web app for browsing, searching for, borrowing, and reviewing books.
  • Build a quiz website allowing visitors to have fun answering questions and winning virtual giveaways


This list of project examples is by no means exhaustive. If you have another project idea that relates to employee training and development, please use Riipen’s in-app chat to contact the professor, who will work with you to determine if it’s a fit for this assignment.

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions or provide additional information. Minimum of 2-4 interactions with each student group leader (approximately 4-6 hours over the duration of the project). Let the students/instructor know if you will be away for an extended time (e.g., vacation).

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course. Advise the instructor if students will be required to sign an NDA prior to beginning the project.

To provide efficiency in the information sharing process, 2 - 3 web conferences may be scheduled in advance at appropriate intervals. The Instructor may ask for participation in an Instructor-led webinar session for students at the beginning of the project by providing an overview of your organization, project and desired/expected outcomes.

Share feedback and recommendations about the project deliverables with the students and instructor.
