CEE 7128 - MASD Capstone 1A


Credits: 1

This capstone course is required of all MASD students. Conducted as independent directed studies, the two capstone courses are the opportunity for individual focused research, bringing together topics covered over the course of students’ MASD degree programs. Capstone projects should relate to students’ areas of specialty and show knowledge of sustainability, specific focus on an issue of concern, an understanding of existing initiatives in the focus area, and evidence of participation or collaboration in project based work. In this first course, students choose a direction of study, develop a topic and arrange a faculty mentor (or approved outside professional mentor) with whom to work. In consultation with the mentor, students write up a short proposal and outline their capstone project. The project outline must include both a proposed research direction and a proposed project based study. The project proposal and outline must be submitted to and approved by the course instructor. During this first of two terms, students begin work on the project and are expected to make significant progress on the research portion of the work. Prerequisite: At least 9 credits in the MASD program.
