|'''Title''' || Syllabus for 2-Semester Senior Capstone Course
|-
|'''Overview''' || Students will gain perspective on and experience with H/FOSS projects. In the first semester students will complete readings, exercises and activities that familiarize them with H/FOSS philosophy/community/tools, select a project in which to participate and produce a plan for their second semester.  During the second semester students will work according to their plans while also completing readings on contemporary and ethical issues in computing.
|-
|'''Prerequisite Knowledge''' || This course was designed for use in the final year of a Computer Science major at a small liberal arts college. Students will typically have completed the core courses and be competent in: Object Oriented Programming, Data Structures, Analysis of Algorithms, Programming Languages, Organization and Architecture.  They may also have completed electives.
|-
|'''Learning Objectives''' ||
*Students will:
  *Gain perspective on H/FOSS and Software Engineering topics.
  *Improve their ability to work (reading/modifying/testing) within a substantial existing code base.
  *Interact with a community of developers and users.
  *Improve written and oral communication skills within the discipline.
