We're all about hands-on learning through project-based courses where students and faculty collaborate with companies like Nike, IBM, and Bosch to create solutions for their software needs. If you're going to succeed in the tech industry, you must know how to learn. And that's what a project-based curriculum teaches best. The best way to learn to code is to code.
From your first day, you will learn in project classes. All freshmen start in the computer science program, where you take general courses, including intro courses in each of the six degree programs. You'll also be introduced to project team methodologies right away.
Networking I
Business information systems
Object-oriented programming
Now that you've chosen your degree program, foundational projects ramp up the intensity as you tackle small-scale projects in labs that are paired with core technology courses.
Software engineering, service oriented architecture, open source development
Game programming, engine implementation, and console development
Scalable web apps and web services
Networking and telecommunications
Projects are now integrated into virtually every course you take. That means you'll be building complex web interfaces, 3D games, or network security models as homework. You're now defining and solving problems using technology–with all of those eureka moments.
Experience all phases of the software development life cycle
Perform different roles from team lead to DBA
Prepare for your Capstone Project
Finish up with a Capstone Project, which is a required individual project that you conceive, build, and present. It's where you get to show off all you've learned and prove you're ready to take on Enterprise Projects in your last three quarters. Capstone Projects aren't easy, but they're a great learning experience and some select projects are chosen to present at Capstone Project Invitational.
Direct your own project
Develop confidence and self-reliance
Increase your technical competence
Now you're ready to apply everything you've learned by participating on real projects for real employers. You'll take on a variety of roles–from team lead to developer to analyst as you build and test software with the supervision of software engineers from companies across the nation. Enterprise Projects are the proving ground where you'll implement everything you've learned and build a portfolio packed with projects for names like IBM, eBay, and Nike.
Think of it as a senior project on steroids.
Students are invited to show off what they have learned in the classroom at our annual Project Showcase. Categories include gaming, non-gaming, Capstone Project, and Enterprise Project. Guests at Project Showcase include other current students, FReX visitors, alumni, faculty, and staff, who cast their vote for their favorite projects and gather to watch as the winning projects are honored, including the Overall Staff & Faculty award.

PROJECT:
Neumont dreamed up an interactive alumni map and hand-picked two all-star students, Melissa Buena and Cooper Astle, to bring our vision to life. The map allows users to see where Neumont alumni are currently working, who hired them, and their home states. Using Indeed, a search engine for job listings, users can also search for open posititions across the United States. Melissa and Cooper created this 86” multi-touch panel using Angular 7 for the front end, C# with ASP.NET Core for framework, and SQL as the back-end database.

PROJECT:
Neumont students worked with our local NBA team, the Utah Jazz, to create a three-point shooting game. This multi-platform game was made by students in the BSGD program using Unity and C#. Players are able to choose from multiple characters, dodge obstacles, make baskets, and work towards achievements.

PROJECT:
Students helped develop the video game Super Dungeon Bros. It’s a cross-platform, rock-themed, co-op dungeon brawler with a band of mighty rock bros who navigate the medieval fantasy realm of Rökheim. Working with Visual Studio, Unity, Ruby, C#, and Java (to name a few technologies), they developed back-end systems for gameplay, created levels, and implemented new features. The team worked together on the project helping each other along as they were mentored by the React developers. Now, a few of our grads work at React Games full-time. Learn more about the game here.

PROJECT:
Overstock challenged Neumont students to update their website. The Enterprise Project required the students to integrate recently acquired international online retailers into its existing Overstock brand, website, and data structure. This included testing, debugging, and automation. Students worked primarily in Java, Linux, HTML, and CSS to create a streamlined and fully integrated database and website for the online retailer.
