A senior capstone course in computing permits the student to experience, in a real-world context, the entire software process - from problem survey through implementation and delivery. The purpose of this article is to describe the process of conducting a successful senior capstone course. This article will go beyond a simple description of the SDLC for student-based projects to discuss some of the nuances associated with making such a course run smoothly. It will also suggest ways for making the course a more meaningful experience for those involved as well as make some recommendations with regard to the instructor's role in such a course, the number of credits that should be awarded to the student for successful completion of it, and ways to motivate students to achieve success.
