Navigating the Complexities of CS Capstone Programs: Insights from SIGCSE 2024

In many computer science (CS) programs, capstone projects are essential components for equipping students with practical skills and real-world experience. At the SIGCSE Technical Symposium last month, the School of Computing Instruction (SCI) delved into the challenges and strategies associated with running capstone programs.

In a birds of a feather session led by SCI Chair Olufisayo Omojokun and Research Associate KellyAnn Fitzpatrick, individuals from across the country joined to discuss their CS capstone programs. With live poll results from attendees helping to shape the conversation, the session offered insights to educators, students, administrators, and industry collaborators involved in CS capstone initiatives.
