COMPUTERs and INFORMATION SYSTEMS technology Industry-driven Projects

In 2008, MTS partnered with the Business Information Technology (BIT) program to develop a way to stream movie trailers to cell phones. BIT students in the program worked with MTS to flesh out the idea and then implement the technology with the skills and knowledge they gained earlier in the program. The project was extremely successful, as MTS got the technology they needed to stream the video to their cell phones and RRC students got experience working on an innovative, real-world project.
