...Capstone project also called culminating project, the capstone experience, senior exhibition, and the likes. It refers to a multifaceted assignment serving as the culminating intellectual and academic experience for students during the final year of the academic course being pursued. It resembles a very great extent a college thesis, but capstone project has a wide variety of forms. The most common feature is the handling of long-term investigative projects culminating in a final presentation, product, or performance. Usually, students are to choose a topic, a social problem or profession of their interests. They conduct researches on subjects selected, maintain a portfolio of the results or findings, and give shape to a final product that demonstrate their acquisition of knowledge and learning. The finality of the research may also be in the form of conclusions like a short film, paper, or multi-media presentation.

...For my capstone project, my team and I chose to develop an application for CBU’s School of Nursing. More specifically, we developed an application to help aid CBU’s Nursing Practitioner program based on the requirements elicited from the head CBU Nursing Practitioner Professors. Our capstone application provides CBU Nursing Practitioner Professors and Students with a patient simulation platform and test taking and grading system. Former U.S. Representative for Texas, Solomon Ortiz, once stated “Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.” Our capstone application attempts to prove Ortiz correct by providing CBU Nursing Practitioner students with an education application that will prepare them for success in their healthcare environment and providing Nursing Practitioner professors with the tools to make lasting impacts on their students. Our team’s hope and goal is that our application makes a major impact in the lives of the students and professors as well as the lives they interact with. My capstone team and I are confident that our capstone project will have major impacts in the healthcare system. We are certain that our capstone project...

One aspect is to manage a project using known methodologies taught during this course but the other component is about learning to integrate personal morals and standards when necessary in making decisions. The course Info Systems Capstone (ISM 491a) challenged me to think critically about managing a project from beginning to end and how to make decisions based on morals and personal influences.

...| Civilian Personnel Advisory Council Capstone Project | | | Heidi M Burbank | 6/1/2015 | HRM 291 Jack McCallum | Introduction Working for the Federal Government has advantages and disadvantages. Many of the concerns of working for other companies like EEO, and Affirmative action have been long covered in the form of a policy letter. Which is a formal document for the government typically on the military sector which dictates the rules and refers the document to official military regulations approved by the Department of Defense (DoD). The government has a very formal process when looking at how they select employees and search for new talent. I primarily work with the Army and the Army for both soldiers and civilians has a very formal process for training and professional development. The Army has a variety of training methods. Online training through multiple websites, and locations for resident training, many positions require formal training before permissions to certain systems.

Foundations of Business Thought will introduce the student to the cultural, historical and philosophical thought surrounding the issues of business and commerce throughout the ages.

A brief historical trace will be made to connect us to those businessmen and women who pursued many of the same goals we do today. The course will be divided into three semester sections with six functional areas, each followed by an Exam. A lecture outline is posted to Canvas in the week that section is started. Section 1: A. The Fundamentals of Business - We will read many of the classics of literature and philosophy to discern the authors' beliefs about business fundamentals and, in the...
