Capstone Format
Introduction
The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program prepares students to be IT professionals, be well versed on application installation, operation, development, maintenance and administration, and familiar with hardware installation, operation, and maintenance. (CMO 53 s. 2006) Capstone project is required for the BSIT program. It should be in the form of a systems application or an enterprise resource plan (CMO 53 s. 2006). The skills, methods and theories learned by the students in their stay in the BSIT program are applied in this output-oriented course.
This is a very special course in the BSIT program. Students do it in the final year of studies and it is their opportunity to demonstrate that they can indeed meet the levels of performance expected of an IT professional. The Capstone Project includes project proposal, feasibility studies, intellectual property, teamwork, budget, schedule, management, professional communications (i.e. reports, presentations), planning, design, implementation, deployment, and testing. Students will be expected to do much more than “get something working”. They will be expected to meet a number of strictly enforced milestones and to take considerable initiative in realizing specific goals. Moreover, the Capstone Project is a way of determining whether students are ready to graduate.
The Capstone Project has a number of educational objectives. Although each Research / Capstone Project is different and the relative emphasis will vary, the subject will involve students in: * Bringing together and integrating knowledge and skills in the course as a whole; * Reinforcing and developing competencies that have not been sufficiently emphasized in the fundamental subjects; * Defining a substantial engineering study or design task and carrying it to completion within a specified time and to a professional standard; * Completing a comprehensive written and bound report that places the Research /
