CAPSTONE PROJECT
The Capstone Project is an expansive assignment that serves as the finish touch to the Master journey. Apply the learned knowledge and skills from the program to investigate a specific problem or idea related to an area of specialization. Once this issue is identified, it’s necessary to apply relevant skills and expertise in developing a solution that addresses the problem head-on. Students have several options for their Final Project, such as a research-based approach or a more hands-on problem-solving technique. The proposed solutions are normally practical and interactive, with the potential to be implemented in professional settings or used for further research and study.
