Capstone Project
The Joint MS Capstone Project is an opportunity for students to address a real-world environmental problem by integrating their E-IPER and professional school coursework in an interdisciplinary project. Students present their Projects at the Capstone Symposium, held at the end of each quarter in which students are completing projects. Students have the freedom to generate their own project ideas. Projects could involve any of the following:
- Further development of a project initiated in a prior or concurrent project-based course (taken while enrolled in the Joint MS degree);
- Collaboration with an off-campus client on a current environmentally related problem (e.g., by expanding on a summer internship);
- Collaboration with a business or entrepreneur to develop a business plan for a new venture;
- Collaboration with a Stanford faculty member or E-IPER PhD student on a relevant research project.
The Capstone Project Guidelines updated annually, describe the proposal and implementation process. Students may work on their projects individually or in a group of up to 3 students. The Capstone Course, ENVRES 290, is offered in the Autumn and Winter quarters for each academic year.
