Through Project:ICS (Innovative Collabortive Solutions), the Bren School's in-class internship program, your company can augment its IT staff for a 10-week period partnering with dynamic faculty and a senior-level team of Bren School students to start, develop or complete an existing technology project.
Project:ICS is comprised of upper division classes designed to give our students real-world experience specifying, designing, constructing, testing and documenting complete projects in partnership with local companies, University offices and non-profit organizations.
This course compliments the computer science curriculum by providing students an opportunity to experience an assignment motivated by industry needs and constrained by business demands.
