MASE Capstone Residency I

1 Credit.

The MASE degree culminates in a capstone research project, which students will begin during the Capstone Residency I course in Washington, DC. The capstone research project focuses on a broad, common theme but allows students to choose a focus that reflects their interests and future career plans. The goal is to solve an important problem of practical importance in the field of sustainable energy. During Capstone Residency I, students are introduced to the capstone project, brainstorm potential ideas, write a project proposal, and develop a timeline for completion. Students are guided by a faculty advisor as they engage in collaborative efforts to develop and refine their ideas. Students will also hear from expert guest lecturers on a variety of energy-related topics.
