PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Large-scale projects in industry and the government require the efforts and contributions of people from different disciplines, institutions, and perspectives. Capstone projects, however, are undertaken most commonly by single-discipline teams of students unless opportunities are specifically provided for them to be in an interdisciplinary team. Using the NASA Psyche Mission interdisciplinary capstone projects as a model, a team of students are working to design and deploy a web-based system to help students learn about and join available interdisciplinary capstone projects and to also post and search for students with other skillsets needed to make their project a success.
