III. CAPSTONE PROJECT
The student is required to complete a capstone project. This project will consist of research on a physics topic in consultation with a physics professor. In the case when the student is involved in a capstone project in a discipline other than physics, and the research topic has significant ideas that belong to the physics discipline, the capstone will be considered joint research and will satisfy the requirement of a physics capstone as well.
