Sample Capstone Projects
-
City tax to support the library will document the trials and tribulations of an initiative to have formal support for maintaining the library. This 12 hour project spread over three semesters will document all the issues that the library director faces in order to get a proposal on the ballot. The last component will be formalized such that everything will be placed onto a CD ROM or a series of Web pages.
-
Another student is going to document how her role as president of a Chamber of Commerce necessitates all aspects of the goals of the degree. As this one is still in its developmental stages, its final outcome is yet to be determined.
-
Physical aspects of youth recreational activities is a capstone project also in the developmental stages between the student and the advisor. However, this project is not work related as are the prior two, but a parental interest by the student who happens to work as an LPN.
-
Through discussion, a student discovered his job responsibilities required phone and email communication with people all over the world. This potential capstone will focus on multicultural aspects of his duties, and a possible development of a handbook for other employees who need to do the same type of communication.
-
A student interested in computer science is going to develop a set of protocols for running a computer lab. This will entail not only the implementation of the Lynix based operating system but also the guidelines for the help desk and user regulations. This, as the others, will integrate the four goals of the program.
