Game Lab 6 Capstone Project
SPO2161
The capstone project in the Games and Entertainment Technology Program mandate students to use their amassed knowledge and skills to address real-world issues in the gaming and entertainment technology sector. Through this project, students produce research-based solutions, preparing them for careers in industrial research or advanced academic pursuits.
The capstone project for the Games and Entertainment Technology Bachelor Course is designed to integrate the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained throughout the Games and Entertainment Technology program. Students will work in pairs (small groups) to develop and execute an applied/experimental research project that addresses a real-world problem or question relevant to the fields of game development and/or entertainment technology. The course allows students to synthesize and apply their academic knowledge, creativity, and critical thinking skills to create a comprehensive and professional project that can be showcased to potential employers or graduate schools. The course offers two general approaches for capstone projects: Experimental research projects (take place on-campus) or Applied research projects (take place in a real-world context in collaboration with an actual company). In both approaches, the students will design and develop a game or entertainment technology project, documenting and reporting on the research process and its outcomes.
