Capstone Projects
Capstone courses are culminating, project-based courses undertaken by university students in the final (senior) year of university.
A strength of capstone courses is that they involve students in applying their knowledge and skills to real-world projects. The Psyche mission is developing Psyche-focused projects for capstone courses across a range of disciplines.
Current Capstone Projects
Four capstone projects are being piloted at Arizona State University during the 2017-2018 academic year:
- Development of a Psyche mobile app (students from computer science, graphic design, and engineering management)
- Development of an imaging system to produce consistent images of iron meteorite samples for automated analysis (students from computer systems engineering, industrial design, and engineering management)
- Development of a computer algorithm for automated planimetric analyses of iron meteorite sample images to determine bulk chemical compositions (students from computer science)
- Creation of a near-term public relations plan and long-term (mission lifetime) strategic plan (students from journalism and mass communication)
- Development of a hands-on demonstration to help the public understand one of the Psyche science instruments or investigations (students from Engineering Projects in Community Service and engineering management)
Future Capstone Projects
A menu of Psyche-focused capstone projects that may be undertaken by any interested university capstone course is in development for the 2018-2019 academic year.
