Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Apply the knowledge and skills acquired throughout their academic program to a substantial project that integrates multiple disciplines.
Work effectively in a team setting, demonstrating leadership, collaboration, and communication skills.
Plan and execute a project from inception to completion, including project management, design, and implementation.
Demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills in addressing real life problems.
Communicate effectively through written and oral presentations to a range of audiences.

Course Content:

This project is a culminating experience that allows students to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout their academic program. The project requires students to work on a substantial project that integrates multiple disciplines and reflects their interests and career goals. Students work in teams under the guidance of a faculty advisor. The project involves planning and providing of the design and the prototype implementation of a new product, the development of a software application, the creation of a research paper, or the completion of a community-based project. Throughout the course, students will be expected to demonstrate critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
