In recent years greater attention has been paid to the development of capstone courses in undergraduate programs. This paper describes the methodology used by the Computer Information Systems program at Siena Heights University in Adrian to develop and implement a capstone course. Students seem to find the approach educational, valuable and enjoyable, and it is hoped that this paper can provide some useful information to those who are in the process of designing or redesigning CIS capstone classes for their institutions.

Keywords: capstone course, senior project, feasibility study, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, poster presentation, CIS curriculum
