The Adobe Analytics Challenge occurs each fall semester. It's a team competition that pits student website recommendations against each other. The teams are given real-world clients and real traffic data along with Adobe's Site Catalyst tool.

IEEE - UVU Student Chapter

The Student Chapter is part of the world's largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. Just a few of the benefits student members receive are: free training, a free student magazine Potentials, free technical TV programs (web streamed), and free software.

The Utah Section of IEEE recently received the Best Section Award of Region 6 in the United States, serving more than 2,000 professionals in Utah. Each month there are many activities where engineers and technicians gather to socialize and discuss important developments in their disciplines.

The Computer Society of IEEE is one of the largest organizations within this international organization. The Computer Society publishes its own journals and magazines, many of them targeting specific disciplines within the computing arena. IT Professional magazine is one example. IEEE societies address specific interests of members within IEEE and often have their own discipline-specific events.

Experiential and Challenging Credits

The Information Systems and Technology Department does not offer experiential credit. However, students may take a “challenge exam” for nearly every course offered by the IS&T department. When a student desires to challenge a course, it is expected that the student already has knowledge of the course’s subject.

Challenge tests are available to students during Fall and Spring semesters and by faculty pre-approval during summer session.

For further information about challenge exams contact the department's Administrative Assistant, Cheryl Levi, at 801-863-8182.
