CSC 4901 - Computer Science Capstone I

1 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits

Course Description
This is the first course in the senior design sequence where students work as a team on a significant computational project which builds upon the computer science foundations learned in previous courses. Each student team must specify, design, implement, document, and, if appropriate, test a substantial project. Teams meet regularly with their instructor to track technical and project management issues. (prereq: completion of core courses through junior year–a maximum of two may be missing–or approved plan of study to complete the degree by within one term of completing CSC 4902)

Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Integrate and apply knowledge and skills acquired in previous coursework
Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing to identify solutions
Design and implement a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements
Work effectively and demonstrate initiative as a project team member
Effectively communicate the project status and technical content in oral and written form to stakeholders
Apply the design process to produce a technical artifact that meets specified completion criteria
Use principles from science and mathematics to design and construct technical artifacts that meet multiple realistic constraints
Integrate technologies and standards beyond previous coursework to support design and planning
Develop and execute experiments to minimize uncertainty and use the results to justify design decisions
Make informed judgements in computing practice based on legal and ethical concerns related to the project

Prerequisites by Topic

Proficiency in data science, artificial intelligence, and software design and implementation
