Experience Report On The Use Of Technology To Manage Capstone Course Projects, Benjamin Gan, Eng Lieh Ouh Oct 2020

Experience Report On The Use Of Technology To Manage Capstone Course Projects, Benjamin Gan, Eng Lieh Ouh

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This full paper presents an experience report describing lessons learnt from innovative practice use of technologies in an undergraduate computing capstone course. At our school, around fifty-five teams comprising of around 300 students take this course every year. With fifty-five teams, we needed a system to schedule presentations; improve communications; collaborate between stakeholders; share knowledge; monitor progress; team up students; match students to projects; improve grading process; showcase posters; and track improvements using analytics. The Learning Management Systems (LMS) is great to manage course content and grade submission. On the other hand, students are required to conduct agile sprint reviews …


A Longitudinal Study Of A Capstone Course, Benjamin Gan, Eng Lieh Ouh, Yin Yin Fiona Lee Aug 2020

A Longitudinal Study Of A Capstone Course, Benjamin Gan, Eng Lieh Ouh, Yin Yin Fiona Lee

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This is a 7 years study on a capstone course completed by 1700+ students for 200+ organizations involving 300+ projects. Student teams deliver a system to solve real-world problems proposed by industry partners. We want to understand what independent variables influence student performance. We analyzed the deployment status of systems delivered, the type of organization/industry, the number of meetings and the technology used. Our results show some organization value proof of concept over fully deployed systems, student strengths are in Infocomm and Finance projects, the number of meetings is a weak correlation to performance and best performing projects are fully …


Capstone Course On Facilitating Business Brainstorming In A Global Workplace, Edison Jun Hao Lim, Benjamin Gan Feb 2016

Capstone Course On Facilitating Business Brainstorming In A Global Workplace, Edison Jun Hao Lim, Benjamin Gan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper describes our capstone team’s experience toward building a IT system for business brainstorming at work. The Canvas project aims to facilitate the Business Model Canvas exercise between employees at NEC Corporation. Traditional brainstorming meetings require employees to be in the same location, are hard to organize and are hard to archive. Our team, Rokoo, developed a web application that resolves these challenges by allowing global employees to brainstorm together on the same platform.


Integrating Hands-On Undergraduate Research In An Applied Spatial Science Senior Level Capstone Course, David Kulhavy, Daniel R. Unger, I-Kuai Hung, David Douglass Jan 2015

Integrating Hands-On Undergraduate Research In An Applied Spatial Science Senior Level Capstone Course, David Kulhavy, Daniel R. Unger, I-Kuai Hung, David Douglass

Faculty Publications

A senior within a spatial science Ecological Planning capstone course designed an undergraduate research project to increase his spatial science expertise and to assess the hands-on instruction methodology employed within the Bachelor of Science in Spatial Science program at Stephen F Austin State University. The height of 30 building features estimated remotely with LiDAR data, within the Pictometry remotely sensed web-based interface, and in situ with a laser rangefinder were compared to actual building feature height measurements. A comparison of estimated height with actual height indicated that all three estimation techniques tested were unbiased estimators of height. An ANOVA, conducted …
