8.0 Conclusions
Our involvement with experiential learning projects has been invaluable. We have received favorable feedback from students, clients, university administrators, and the local press. Specifically, students perceived that their systems analysis and design skills, including such skills as identification of deliverables, prototyping, preparation of systems documentation, determination of system requirements, and logical and physical system design, were enhanced as a result of these projects. Students also indicated that they learned more in the “real- world” experiential course than they would have learned in a more traditional lecture environment. Clients indicated that the deliverables produced by the projects were of high quality, were useful for the organization, and would improve effectiveness and/or efficiency within the organization. Clients also indicated that the system design project was a positive experience for their organization and the projects delivered would be implemented to help the organization. We have not experienced any difficulty in obtaining clients interested in participating, and given the benefits of experiential learning, we plan to continue these types of projects into the indefinite future. ___________________ * The authors wish to thank Dana Hermanson, Roger Hermanson, Raquel Meyer Alexander, Dargan Frierson, Jr., Tom Baker, and Bill Compton, Ed Graham, and Ravija Badarinathi, for helpful suggestions on earlier drafts of this paper.
