BTE Capstone

Catalog description

The BTE Capstone is a course that allows students to focus independently on a product that integrates the core concepts and competencies of business, technology and entrepreneurship, learned throughout the BTE program. A Capstone course is not simply an advanced course in a particular sub-area, nor is it an unstructured project course. A Capstone is designed to be a culmination of your learning, and a chance to develop and express many skills at once through the development of a significant work product/artifact. Students develop, test, and refine their product with the guidance and supervision of faculty and alumni advisors. The BTE Capstone takes place over one semester, however has a significant pre-work expectation that should be worked on during the prior semester. A successful BTE Capstone prepares students for further development of their product or service, including resources to help launch their idea. The course requires the completion of three main assignments: (1) an extensive project documentation portfolio, (2) a product prototype, and (3) a product presentation.
