The capstone project is an important part of the MAS-DSE program. By the end of the first year, students are expected to form teams of 3-5 people, define specific goals for the project and metrics for measuring success, identify data sources that will be used for the project and find a faculty advisor.
Dr. Ilkay Altintas ialtintas@ucsd.edu is the faculty for all of the capstone projects. Please email Dr. Altintas ialtintas@ucsd.edu with “MAS-DSE-Capstone:” in the subject line of your email.
