The senior capstone experience in chemistry is designed to engage students in a long-term, mentored learning experience that culminates in a piece of original research and/or scientific theory. The research project focuses on the art of scientific problem solving through theoretical analysis and/or experimental and technical design. The capstone project provides an opportunity for students to use their knowledge and skills to identify and solve a problem or answer a question in the field of chemistry. The students design and execute a project under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
