Capstone Reflection

 I feel that Capstones are important. There are a few different reasons why I think this. I also think that capstones could be improved upon so that more students can use them for their intended purpose. I understand that they are in a constant state of evolution that the faculty wants them to be as beneficial as possible for the students. I hear that they will be pushing a team concept for capstones which I think is an excellent idea, rarely in the industry will you be on an island only working with yourself.

First the capstones are meant to show the culmination of a students time in the program. They should ideally mix in different things that they learned while at school. I do not feel they should be contained to only one aspect of the skills they have learned. Secondly it gives the students an opportunity to see who they may be competing for jobs with out in the industry  and what they may need to work on to be ready for that. And perhaps most importantly it  gives them exposure to those potential employers that come to see what our school turns out. So to echo what someone from class said it is really important for us as students to put our best foot forward. If we do not empress those employers they may be less likely to come back for future classes.
