Masters of Human-Computer Interaction
Capstone Project 2009
The MHCI Capstone Project
The Masters of Human-Computer Interaction curriculum at Carnegie Mellon University consists of ten conventional semester-long courses and an extensive team-oriented studio/project experience, which is referred as a capstone project.
The capstone project is structured to cover the end-to-end process of a research and development product cycle, while working closely with an industry sponsor on improvements, modifications, or new applications to their existing human-to-machine technology. The goal of this 32-week course is to give each student two opportunities: The first is to apply all of the skills they obtained from the MHCI program, and the second is a “real-life” opportunity, similar to an actual experience in a Research/Design/Development setting.
