Welcome to IS470: Guided Research

IS470 is offered as either an IS Technology or IS Management elective. This course involves one-to-one mentoring supervison by a faculty to a senior undergrad SIS student for 1 term (with possible extension over summer or even to a second term as an independent IS480 project). Students with GPA of 3.4 and above are eligible for this course, although the pre-requisite might be relaxed in special cases.

  • To STUDENTS: Pls check out the list of projects proposed by SIS faculty by clicking on the Research Projects link above. Then consult the respective supervisor to find out more about the project that interests you. Pls note that IS470 and IS480 are NOT mutually exclusive, i.e. if you are taking or planning to take IS480, you may still consider taking IS470. The learning outcomes for these two courses are very different. Also note that there is no need for you to create an account on this website.
  • To FACULTY: If you are interested to participate as a supervisor for IS470 projects, we invite you to upload one (or more) proposal. To do so, you will need to first "Create A New Account". Approval will then be granted by email, which allows you to log in and add/manage proposals henceforth.

  • Registration process:
    (1) Supervisor and student agree on a common project topic
    (2) Student downloads and fills appl form, and gets signature of supervisor
    (3) Student submits form to SIS General Office
    (4) GO approves and manually inserts student into the RO system (note that student can't directly bid for this course on BOSS).

    Comments and questions on the course and this website should be directed to Lau Hoong Chuin (hclau@smu.edu.sg).

  • Supervisor's Name for research projects

    For now, there would be no more need to specify the Supervisor's Name for the respective research project as the Supervisor's name would be reflected as the person who posted the project.

    Hope this help ease everyone's work.

    Thanks.
