Student plans, creates and executes a detailed Capstone project which typically take two semesters to complete. During the first semester, students choose a project and a faculty capstone advisor and complete a detailed plan for the creation of their project. In the second semester the capstone project is produced. The capstone festival is where students present their finished projects to the faculty, CSUMB students and the greater community. Capstones for the ITCD major cover a wide spectrum of design and technical projects: including complex web sites, programming projects, animation, identity designs and planning and implementing technical events. The projects are based on the course work taken in the major as well as the student's individual strengths and passions. All projects represent a combination of technology and design. This fusion is the hallmark of the ITCD degree.
