Capstone Project
• Provides practical experience in the design, planning, development, implementation and presentation of a GIS project
• Industry format course• Learners are accountable for results, not only time spent• Students report to their client/instructor at regular intervals
presenting results, achievements and results
• Students work with an industry mentor• Mentors are members of industry (not just GIS) that share their
experience and knowledge to help students grow as a professional

Capstone Project
• The capstone project ties all courses and associated modules into a seamless term project. Some of the highlighted learning includes:• practical experience in the design, planning, development,
implementation and presentation of a project;• enhance technical skills through the application of course work to a real-
world project;• enhance soft skills through a mentor/mentee relationship with a real-
world industry client;• gain an appreciation for a typical GIS project lifecycle;• teamwork; and• leadership

Capstone Project
• The capstone project course is co-taught by two instructors
• Wade Hawkins & Jamie Johnston-Stewart
• Groups can bounce ideas off one or both instructors
• Provides students with different perspectives
• Gives students a balanced approach to the project

The Challenge
![Page 13: SAIT & FORTISALBERTA - Home - GeoAlberta · Company: SAIT & FORTISALBERTA Forge a Partnership to put New Ideas on the Map Dr. Verda Kocabas & Lauren Taylor ... implementation and](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022040117/5f0e68887e708231d43f1a0a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Challenge
• Lightning damage occurs without causing outages
• May cause future outages if not inspected and repaired
• Need for analysis to facilitate damage inspection
