The Value and Impact of Capstone Projects: Three Case Studies
Pages 68 - 73
Abstract
The value and impact of successful capstone project can be potentially great. It can provide students involved with learning and design experiences, high confidence in design skills and abilities, and potentially long-term relationship with the sponsors. Also, the capstone project product itself can be an extremely useful application in high demand in the real world. This paper presents the three successful capstone projects from two engineering and technology enriched US institutes of higher education. The first capstone project is Bluetooth interface software for off-the-shelf for OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostic System-II) Bluetooth dongle project. The second one is Develop Mobile Single Sign-on Solution project. Finally, the last one is VMI Interactive Map project.
