Final Project
Do one of the following:

• Select a Project Case study from these selections or use the Project Cases link on the Home page.
  You may work on the case study with a friend. I will allow up to 2 team members. If you choose, you may do the case study by yourself.
  Answer the questions attached to each case study.
  Create a PowerPoint presentation of your case study to present to the class. In your presentation make sure you give an overview of the case and then present your conclusions (answers to the case study questions).
• Choose a topic of interest (ie. RFID technology and how it relates to SCM, Enterprise Resource Planning, new development in database technology and its application to business, etc). Write a 5-8 page paper. Create a PowerPoint presentation on your topic to present to the class.
• Create a report on the technology or software system you worked with in a business you were employed in during a summer job or internship. This should be as complete an in-depth report as possible. Explain the technology, how it was used, any problems with it, what were the advantages to the company of using the technology or system. Create a PowerPoint presentation based on your report to present to the class.
• Design and implement a database of your choice (or see me for suggestions). Your database must contain at least 4 tables, and at least 5 queries and 5 reports. In addition you should develop an ERD depicting the data relationships in your database.
• A spreadsheet application of some level of complexity beyond the labs we have done in class.

  You may create your spreadsheet/database from scratch or download an existing one from the Web. As far as quantity is concerned, you should create at least 300 cells of numerical data, but preferably more than this. For example, if you are starting a spreadsheet from scratch, it should have at least 300 numerical or calculated values in it, preferably more. And if you are downloading a pre-existing spreadsheet, the amount of new data that you compute should be at least 300 cells. But quality and organization are more important than quantity. The extra functions that you add should reveal some relationships or trends among the data, hopefully to the point that a pivot table and charts would be useful.
  When downloading data from the Web, you may notice that some data you want is organized into an HTML table rather than a spreadsheet. Rather than retyping these numbers into Excel, there is a way for Excel to interpret the HTML table directly, as you saw in one of our early labs in Excel. It’s called the Web Query, and you can access it by going to Excel’s Data menu and choosing Get External Data ??From Web.
