This capstone aims to provide a structured way to harvest the concepts, approaches and tools that are most relevant for your work and to consider how they will influence this work going forward. Therefore, the criteria for this capstone are measured against the degree to which they serve your learning. With that in the mind, this project should demonstrate:
