The Computer Information Sciences (CIS) department at our University is in the process of charting the future direction of its required capstone experience. This process involves evaluating the experience the department has had with a one semester project oriented class and looking at capstone experiences at other universities. The purpose of this study is to identify an ideal model or models for our capstone experience that would be most beneficial for our students while fitting into the mission of the University. Our research is leading us toward a two-option experience, one for those students destined for graduate school and another for those who will seek employment immediately after graduation. Proposed for the former is a research class and for the latter the establishment of a faculty directed but student staffed consulting group with the mission of supporting non-profit social service organizations. Anticipated issues and challenges of both options are detailed.
