Capstone Research Project:
The capstone research project (²Ñ´¡°Õ±áÌý9995) provides students with the opportunity to develop, apply and demonstrate their skills in a professional high-performance computing environment. The project must be approved in advance by the PSM Steering Committee and requires a supervisor from either the 51¶¯Âþ faculty or the PSM Scientific Advisory Committee. Students can undertake their research projects in whole or in part during student internships.
