CMSCI 474 - Computer Science Capstone I

Credits: (1)
Students begin work on a major computer science project by locating a client or topic; projects may come from on- or off-campus sources. Students will define the problem, perform research to determine options, decide on a general approach, and identify the major technology components. Students will be prepared to start detailed design in CMSCI 475 Computer Science Capstone II (3). In addition, students will engage in discussion and reflection on issues of computer ethics. Students grades are entered as Pass/Fail until after completion of CMSCI 475 Computer Science Capstone II (3), when the grade for both courses will be the grade assigned in CMSCI 475 Computer Science Capstone II (3).
