Podcasts about capstone project

In this episode, we speak to Denise Sherrod, Chief of Automation at Occidental Petroleum. Denise shares the story behind her Capstone Project, which she completed during her time in the Master of Engineering Technical Management program. Tune in to hear how she approached the project, what made it successful, and how it continues to influence her leadership and work in the energy industry today.Technical Leadership Talks is brought to you by Texas A&M University's Master of Engineering Technical Management, a program that equips working technical professionals for the next step in their careers.

In this, I break down why every junior developer needs a capstone project that goes beyond simple tutorial or clone apps. I share why code-along and copycat projects may reinforce your skills, but ultimately fall short in showcasing true problem-solving ability. Instead, I explain how to create a meaningful project built around something you genuinely care about—one that solves real problems, targets real users, and demonstrates practical, hirable skills.I discuss how capstones teach user-centered thinking, why it's essential to iterate over months (not days), and how to utilize feedback. You'll hear tips on brainstorming ideas from your previous industry experience or personal passions, plus the importance of picking a marketable tech stack and sticking with it long enough to master it. While freelance projects, open-source contributions, and smaller practice apps have their place, your capstone is the real game-changer that can set you apart from hundreds of other junior developers.If you're tired of being “just a code monkey” and ready to show you can tackle actual product development, user feedback loops, and innovative features, this one is for you. Whether you're aiming for a product-based company or even planning to monetize your own application, a well-executed capstone project proves you've got what it takes. Let's move beyond surface-level projects and create a robust portfolio piece that tells the world, "I'm serious about software development."---------------------------------------------------

If you've been considering engaging ISU Engineering students for Capstone Projects, now is the time to reach out to Mayra Ramirez. What is a Capstone Project, you ask? In short, Capstone Projects help companies access people and technology. Within the College of Engineering, each student must take a formal capstone course during their senior year in which they apply their educational experience to a real-world project. Here are just a few of the benefits you'll receive by hosting a capstone project: • Apply a high level of engineering resources to a topic of interest, such as investigating an engineering problem, redesigning an existing product or process, or exploring a new product concept or technology platform. • Engage students as potential future employees. • Use capstone projects to “seed” innovation projects within the company.

Our lucky 13th episode of Season 2 takes us to Oak Bay. At the confluence of school district land and municipal land, lies a section of daylighted and restored Bowker Creek. It's here that we met Sidney Hurst, proud builder of the 600th Little Free Library in the Greater Victoria Placemaking Network. While talking about the 600th little library - named "Bowker Creek Books" - was our initial reason for reaching out to her, it was refreshing to sit down with a such a knowledgeable, eager, and community-minded young person. To say that Sidney is passionate about books and literacy is a bit of an understatement - she's been writing a book review blog since she was 10yrs old! We haven't heard of many 10 year old bloggers, and especially about books. She also has a goodreads page. By the time she reached 15, she apparently didn't have enough of books, so she made her first little library in her front yard. She has diverse tastes in reading, so while her favourites may change, her go-to book is "The Lie Tree" by Frances Hardinge. As part of the BC Grade 12 curriculum, students are required to have a Capstone Project. It's an opportunity for students to demonstrate their cumulative learning in a particular topic they're interested in, and Sidney wanted something that reflected literacy and sustainability. She followed those interests and decided on a little library close to her school, Oak Bay High. After researching and learning the process involved, she worked with her school principal to install one in a tranquil spot next to Bowker Creek, between Oak Bay High, Oak Bay Recreation, and Oak Bay Public Works Yard. Tranquil yet busy, with connecting pathways and nearby sports: playing fields, tennis bubble, basketball court, skate park, running track, and rec centre! A Grade 12 student at Oak Bay High, Sidney is also taking UVIC classes, and volunteering in the community, with additional interests in literacy, sustainability, PoliSci, and law. Despite her interest in politics, she's not interested in running for political office herself at this time; “Never say never”. She is however, involved federally by volunteering, and encouraging young people to get involved in politics and the political system. What else is ahead for this bright young teen? She's looking forward to more placemaking that engages the community and the school. If you can't get enough of books, we highly recommend you check out Sidney's Instagram for books beautifully presented and descriptively reviewed. (Apologies for the uneven audio in a couple of places - we're still working on perfecting the lavalier mic.)

Greetings, Summit Leaders. Today I observed an outstanding group of Summit Leaders showcase their skills, growth, and insight during a capstone exercise. Capstone is a culmination event and launching at the same time. I asked them to reflect on where they started, how they felt then, and how they feel now. I see in these Summit Leaders the manifestation of what it means to get the most out of your work! As I watched them, I recall how grateful they were when each of them started their training.  Work is a gift. Through work, we practice and benefit in three distinct areas. Through work, I discover my gifts, talents, and abilities. In serving, we become more in touch with ourselves and find our value and purpose in life. My work does not define me, but I add meaning through my attitude, beliefs, and heart set. Each of the Summit Leaders talks about growth in their life and career. I wonder if they know their impact on others as they journey. Well, I know that each of the senior managers who witnessed them today was impressed, inspired, and stirred up by their performance. We are together. Iron sharpens iron. So, our first word is gratitude for your work. Remembering your work is a gift and how we use it determines much more than a paycheck.  I am thankful to be working and never see work as just a day in and day out routine. No! Work is a blessing and produces multiplied rewards when approached with a blessed mindset.  The Capstone Project is the evitable outworking of a job. Having skills refined day in and day out is valuable time and presents the opportunity to excel. The second reward is fulfillment in a job well done. When we look, do, and be our best, we stand taller, engage authentically, and learn to serve others confidently. You feel good about yourself when you know you gave your best at work. We see more clearly new ways to serve others when we view ourselves as servant leaders. Now you are gaining a paycheck and honing skills, character development, a sense of self-worth, rewarding relationships, a sense of accomplishment, and the ability to contribute to the lives of others. So, as we consider our work, let's see it as one of life's highest callings; serving others. Someone once said, "If anyone among you wants to be great, let that person become a servant to all." "Do your work. Not just your work, do a little more, but that little is worth more than all the rest. And if you suffer, as you must, and if you doubt, as you must, do your work. Put your heart into it, and the sky will clear. Then out of your doubt and suffering will be born the supreme joy of life." Dean Briggs Victory!

My first experience of a capstone project was 39 years ago. Bachelor of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, a group of seven of us designed, built a windmill. We then put the prototype through its paces - as an experimental test rig. This podcast is a musing about the Capstone Project. If there are 30 million of these happening on the planet right now. If there are a lot ways to do Capstone projects. The surely there is a typology of these kinds of projects. I hint at 4 types. More importantly I ask if the Capstone always serves its purpose as the transformative program in a student's educational and developmental journey. It was for me - even if I became a Dune tragic at the end of it. Learner Centered Design Education: https://rawslearn.wordpress.com/

Build a better mousetrap, they say, and the world will beat a path to your door. If it is built, it will likely be designed by an engineering technologist. For example, a team of former engineering students in Lethbridge have just received a provincial award for their design work. The Capstone Project of the Year Award was presented to the former students for their innovation to build an unbreakable lacrosse stick. To find out more about the stick, Russell spoke with one of the students on the project, Nathan McMurray.
