What is a Capstone Project? Learner Centered Design Education
-
- How To
My first experience of a capstone project was 39 years ago. Bachelor of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, a group of seven of us designed, built a windmill. We then put the prototype through its paces - as an experimental test rig.
This podcast is a musing about the Capstone Project. If there are 30 million of these happening on the planet right now. If there are a lot ways to do Capstone projects. The surely there is a typology of these kinds of projects. I hint at 4 types.
More importantly I ask if the Capstone always serves its purpose as the transformative program in a student's educational and developmental journey. It was for me - even if I became a Dune tragic at the end of it.
