Abstract

Informatics is the study of the application of information technology. The focus of studies within an Informatics program is on particular problem domain areas, including scientific domains like biology or chemistry, but also nonscientific domains like music, fine arts, or business. In this paper we describe our experience with the development of a capstone course for undergraduate Informatics students. In particular, we focus on process-related activities we have undertaken to deal with the rapid increase in enrollment for our course, which has grown from 15 students to over 120 students in just 4 years
