Senior Projects

Senior Project CollageThe Senior Project is the capstone experience for all Computer Science and Information Technology students. Working closely with a faculty member of their choice, each student selects a problem, analyzes it and develops a solution. During the final week of the semester, they will give a formal presentation of this project. Each student will then answer questions regarding their work from the department faculty, students and guests.
