Capstone
Capstone course(s) and capstone projects. The capstone projects for selected students are currently being offered under a range of senior thesis, and other 'special projects' courses. Seven projects involving 13 students were finished by the end of the 2005-2006 academic year. These projects include four extensions of summer 2005 REU projects; (indicated by the *asterisks). The capstone projects are listed below.
