Checklist For a Good Capstone Project

Will it meet the requirements of your degree satisfactorily? It needs to cover a significant, preferably interdisciplinary portion of your senior studies.

Is it relevant to the profession you intend to join?

Is it interesting and provoking? Choosing a fascinating topic helps capture the interest of your audience and instructor. It also helps to keep you motivated even during the rough patches.

Does it have enough research, data, or supporting material already published? A novel idea may be good at first glance, but you will have a very hard time doing the necessary groundwork. The idea needs to be doable with the available resources.
