ISTC 2993 — Capstone Learning Experience
Sem: F/S Prerequisite: 2.0 GPA or higher. Students, with the assistance of a faculty facilitator, choose a project, identify project stakeholders, and develop and execute a formal project plan. Students maintain a journal which documents goals, progress, and barriers encountered. Capstone project assignments will be made within the first two weeks of the semester, with actual work time requiring a minimum of 60 hours spanning 9 to 10 weeks. Most projects include an oral and/or written presentation at the conclusion of the semester. The ASU Mid-South faculty facilitator assigns the final course grade based upon the student’s timeliness in meeting objectives, his/her application of technical skills, the demonstration of general education outcomes defined for program graduates, and on feedback from the project stakeholders. Literature (See Humanities) Machining Technology (See also Technical Core for basic courses shared by more than one technical program) Most machining classes are offered in a hybrid format, with the lecture component provided online so that students use class time to engage in intensive hands-on learning activities applying theory to practical hands-on applications involving skills development and critical thinking.
