In addition to Capstone Projects, we also offer Capstone Design Experiences: one in Visual Computing & Computer Graphics.
The design experience is a combination of an introductory class taken in the Fall term to familiarize students with key concepts and tools, coupled with a Capstone Project in the Spring term. Students are expected to obtain multi-faceted and interdisciplinary skills as compared to some of our more specific area-aligned Capstone Project topics.
