Objectives
- This course is designed as the culmination of the CS Department's
Senior capstone sequence. It is the second course in the sequence

each student to complete a senior project for which a portfolio
will be created consisting of sample preliminary, intermediate,
and final design docs, complete source code from the project, and
a fully documented user's manual. Each student should draw on the
total knowledge base they have gained throughout their time at GFU.
This course will focus on the initial project definition and requirement
documentation. A final presentation will be required with an audience
of students, faculty, alumni, and industry professionals.

Course Organization

however I also will accept no less.
