IIE 525 Capstone Project Development

This course will focus on assisting students in developing an appropriate research design for each student’s capstone project. Building on the knowledge acquired in the research and program evaluation methods course, students will develop the initial design for their capstone project. As part of this process, students will identify the main research questions, choose the design and articulate its appropriateness to the inquiry at hand, discuss the assets and limitations of the design, human subjects and other ethical concerns, and proposed methods for data collection and analysis. Prerequisite: IIE 520.
