Abstract

The CS&IT senior capstone project at the University of the District of Columbia has three components: 1) Senior Seminar, 2) Senior Project I, and 3) Senior Project II. The purpose of Senior Seminar (one credit) is to expand the students' scope of knowledge through reading cutting-edge materials in CS&IT. Students in the class often learn from each other, while the instructor organizes talks given by professors at the university as well as industry professionals. Students give formal presentations as their final exam. The main purpose of Senior Project I (two credits) is to teach students how to start a research project. Students are asked to complete a simple research proposal after doing background research to select a research project. The final report is a short report. In Senior Project II (three credits), many students choose to continue the project Senior Project I. For this course, students complete a well-written report ranging from 20 to 25 pages. This paper explains how we teach these courses and include five examples in data science.
