Learning Objectives
- Explain what a capstone project is, its purpose and its
- Explain the common parts in a capstone
Discuss the capstone groups and the way forward
What is a capstone project?
- A capstone project for information technology is a practical artifact (proposal, prototype) where you will have to demonstrate the skills and knowledge you have acquired throughout the course.
Capstone Project Purpose
- To reflect the industry practices, such as working with people from different backgrounds and varying skill sets in achieving a common
- To ensure that students know how to apply the concepts they have
- To reflect the knowledge of the students that they have acquired throughout the course at a glance.
Capstone Project Outputs
- Business case
- Project requirements
- Solution design and implementation plan
Common Capstone Project/Proposal Parts
Most capstones are made up of ten sections that include the:
- Capstone project title page
- Abstract – a summary of the capstone
- Table of contents
- Introduction – this should set the stage for your project
- Description of the problem – outline the problem and how you will tackle it
- Research – set the background for your research and show what is already known
- Description of the project – what methods you used and how you conducted your research
- Conclusions / Lessons learned – What were the outcomes from your research and what do they mean
- References
- Appendices
Capstone Project Title
- The title must reflect the project you want to
- It must be an appealing, captivating, and manageable
- Make sure your title is between 5 and 15 words in
- Avoid unnecessary words and

- It mainly provides an overview of the capstone

- It provides the justification for choosing that specific research topic,
Abstract Formatting
- An abstract is a single paragraph
- The abstract should be double spaced, 12-point type
- Capstone abstracts should be written in the past tense (as the study is complete) and should not exceed one page in length.
- No citations should be included

- Opening statement on the state of the
- Identification of the problem and why it is relevant to conduct the
- How was the project conducted ? (experimental through the development of a prototype or any other means)
- Summary findings from existing research and what is
- Purpose of the study
- Results
- Social change implications
Class Activity
Group work
- Write down an abstract with at least 250 words? (10 minutes)

Capstone Groups
- The main assessment task will be done as a group This is why you must form a group which should have a minimum of four members and a maximum of five.
- Choose your group
- Email the lecturer before the week 2 webinar an excel sheet which shows:
- Full name of each member (indicate group leader), personal and SISTC email address, phone
- Students who do no provide a group by the start time of their week 2 webinar will be randomly placed in groups by the lecturer.
Way Forward
- Students should individually identify a problem in their community that requires an IT solution and come up with a title for it.
- g it can be a local grocery that does not have a website or a small business with no proper information management processes or a local school that does not have proper cybersecurity in place.
- Complete the individual assessment tasks relating to the
- Join their group from end of week 6 to complete the group task.
- In each webinar, common parts of the capstone project will be
- Students will provide an update with regards to their progress and ask any questions they may have.
Summary
- Capstone project demonstrate the skills and knowledge gained by students in various
- Teamwork skills should be demonstrated in capstone
- Develop the final project title as a
- Choose group members of your choice.
