Colin Powell Fellowship Seminar III

Catalog description

Over the course of an academic year, Second-Year Colin Powell Fellows work in teams on a Capstone project to address challenges, solve problems and identify opportunities for a client organization or a local community. The Capstone project requires students to integrate their learning in an issue or content area and develop key process skills including project management and team management and methods for gathering analyzing and reporting data - and to do so in real time, in an unpredictable, complex real world environment. Potential projects have been identified and reviewed by the Capstone faculty. Faculty will assign students to project teams based on a number of factors including student preference and expertise as well as team size and the needs of a particular project. Teams are usually comprised of 3-5 students who bring a mix of skills and experience and have expressed an interest in the project. Prereq: Approval of Program Director. 3 hr./wk./sem.; 6 cr. upon successful completion of two semester sequence.
