One of the exciting things NJIT has to offer the business and academic community is its Capstone Experience. The College Of Computing Sciences at NJIT started the Capstone Experience in the fall of 2002, mandating that all seniors majoring in computer science, information systems and information technology complete a semester-long project. Now our capstone experience has evolved to offer access to university-wide human resources including students from five university colleges, graduate students and even using the help of senior high school students. Working in teams of four to six, interdisciplinary student teams analyze, design and implement software and other IT-driven solutions in collaboration with project stakeholders. In addition to in-class training, market-driven capstone Open University sessions, orientation and evolutionary presentation sessions, each student is expected to spend approximately nine hours a week on the project, and many of them travel to their sponsor companies.
