EGEE 401 Capstone Project

My Views on This Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to give you free rein to delve deeper into areas of interest to you related to the content of this course. Three alternative project types are available to you: Letters to the Editor, Research Paper, and Lesson Plan (this option is only for teachers, let me know if you have questions). These options are described in detail on the following page. You are asked to complete one project of any of these three types.

Before completing your project, you will need to submit your chosen project type, topic and other details in advance for review and approval. The description on the following page provides details of the information that needs to be provided in advance for each project type. This information is called the Project Definition. Please refer to the Calendar in Canvas for due dates for Project Definition and Completed Project due dates.
