Capstone Project

This offers sponsoring organizations an opportunity to realize immediate benefits and allows participants to incorporate and apply knowledge in a meaningful and value-added context.

Participants enrolled in MF687, Special Project, are paired with a faculty adviser with expertise related to the topic and a problem statement is formulated. Students must prepare and deliver an on-campus presentation that outlines the project topic, planned research and results. The project is then conducted independently and a written paper submitted to the faculty adviser for consideration.
