The Capstone Project cannot be completed in a week or two. It is not the kind of assignment you can put off until later. Meeting standard requires work throughout the school year.
Therefore, deadlines have been set to ensure that students stay on task and continually make progress towards project completion. Students will be assigned to either the Alpha or Beta group to ensure they have access to all equipment necessary to complete the project.
As of September 2007, here is a complete list of deadlines for the 2007-08 academic year:
