Which capstone sequence should I pursue: elective (CS 485 & CS elective), internship (CS 485 & CS 498), or research I/II (CS 482 & CS 492)?
In the first two cases, the base of the capstone experience is CS 485 (Software Engineering II). This course will give you experience working with a team to solve a project for an outside client (often local non-profit organizations, but sometimes with on-campus clients or perhaps working as part of an open-source software development project.) If you decide on a CS 485-based option, the next decision is regarding what course to pair with CS 485. The internship sequence (CS 485 & CS 498) is always a great idea. Whether you intend to go to graduate school after UWEC or straight into the workforce, you can’t go wrong with a good internship experience. Dr. Jack Tan is the department internship coordinator. See him for the details. If you know you want to go to graduate school following UWEC, and you have an interest in some research area, you would also be very well served by pursuing the research I/II sequence (CS 482 & CS 492). This can be great preparation for the sort of independent r
