Creating and Guiding Mobile Device Research Projects

This paper describes a highly effective two-semester client-oriented team-based approach in which students get their first "real" research and development experience in a carefully guided environment that fashions theory into product. Examples used describe how a problem space in mobile devices can be scoped to design tenable software solutions and then how to build one of these designs into what a customer seeks, thereby effectively providing what society increasingly requires from educational institutions in developing mobile device applications.
