Capstone/Thesis Projects Bs IT and Bs Computer Science

The whole final year of the Bachelor of Science Information Technology will be spent on your capstone project. During this project you will specialize in a field of your choosing and become an expert in that field. You will learn to understand a real-world problem, design a solution, and then build, test and present the final product. Usually you will do this project in a team, where all members have distinct roles within a project group, similar to how you will be working in professional teams after you graduate. You are allowed to come up with your own capstone topic if you can find a faculty member willing to be your supervisor, or you can choose to participate in one of the projects we supply to you. Generally, the capstone topics should be part of our key research areas.
