What is Capstone?

Capstone is a final work project that in our case a student will submit it to the University as a result of finishing all required courses to get his or her degree. It will show that after all these years and taking all theses courses what really student learned and how basically he or she can sell themselves to the industry or any other field that apply to the situation. I personally think it is very important and will reflect what we have done during this years. Also it will show and reflects how we arrange our time and assets and tools to make most of it. I believe managing a capstone is as hard as managing a real project at a real company so it definitely will show our ability. There are very smart people with amazing ideas but they have just the idea and never can make it real or it is so big and expensive for any company to make those ideas in to reality. So just having a great idea is not everything, how to make it practical with least amount of time, energy and money is more important, I think capstone will teach us or hopefully make us ready for such a thing in the real world. 
having two semester to finish it is important, at least one semester to complete the idea, put it on a paper and make a schedule for all we need, and then second semester to start it practically and make it done.
