Capstone Project
The Capstone project for the Joint and Dual MS degrees 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 and Dual 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
Detailed capstone project guidelines can be found in the E-IPER Shared Student Resources Drive. The Capstone Course, ENVRES 290, is offered in the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters for each academic year.
