Am really glad that people in the industry are realizing the value of student�s projects.
As Mr. Ntege suggested the business men & women and academician need to work together so that they can come up with projects which are tailored towards Uganda's needs.
Student�s skills will be improved since they will be solving real world problems hence building on their working experience.
At the Institute Of Computer Science, Makerere University we have already started establishing links with potential companies so that we can collaborate. In return then students will be the beneficiaries.
The companies will benefit from the student's problem solving skills.
Companies/Individual interested in establishing collaboration with the Institute Of Computer Science, Makerere University can contact either our project coordinator Ms. Josephine Nabukenya ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or me (Habibu Atib [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Infact at the moment several students are on industrial training in various companies.

Hi All
I must say I have enjoyed this thread and I think we need to get something
productive out of it.
I know we have participants from the teaching, student and Business
constituencies on the list.
So why don't we know pave the way forward. I for one have already stated my
willingness to work with Makerere and I'm sure a number of other players are
ready to do this.
I suggest some kind of Project advisory committee made up of both business
and academia.
The committee would advise on both projects and also assist during the
course of the year as the students complete the work.
Also project presentation should be done to a wider audience.
Just brain storming please all add or reject but I suggest this to be the
way forward.
