What is a Capstone Project?

A capstone project attempts to solve a real problem through applied research. It challenges students to apply what they learn in the classroom to real world problems individually or in a group.

As the final step in their program, capstone projects bring together classroom knowledge and practical experience, giving students a strong foundation for future careers or further study.
