In the HCDE Capstone course, students spend two academic quarters defining a problem and designing a solution that integrates knowledge and skills gained throughout the degree program. 

On March 11, 2016, students from the 2016 Master's Capstone course presented their final projects to the HCDE community. Find a full listing of posters from the 2016 showcase below, and join all HCDE students, faculty, and staff for the annual HCDE Open House on May 31, 2016, to see Capstone posters and project demos in action.
