Industry-Sponsored Capstone Project
Offered every year, the HCI M.S. Industry-Sponsored Capstone Project (ISCP) is where student teams of three or four work with one of our corporate or community partners to bring the culmination of their HCI M.S. experience and the materials learned across all courses within their degree to a real-world partner-defined UX product, service, experience design, or research challenge.
