Course Description

​

The goal of the course is for students to complete a project of significant size and scope that allows them to bring together skills and knowledge learned across a variety of courses at SIAT. Individually or as a team, students will produce an artifact that is of a high calibre (‘portfolio’ quality) along with a detailed report of the project activities completed throughout the term, the methods or processes used, the knowledge learned, and a description of the final outcomes. Projects will be presented publicly at an end-of-term graduation showcase.

​

The course is organized and overseen by a faculty lead (Dr. Kate Hennessy) who provides breadth knowledge to the students on large-scale graduation projects (e.g., project planning, report writing, professional ethics, and effective communication to various audiences). Students will attend a weekly seminar and present their project progress to other students and receive feedback. The weekly seminar will be facilitated by the faculty lead.
