Activity

  • The first capstone project I was assigned to suffered from scope creep, or rather a lack of scope definition. When the professor was describing the project at first, it was rather vague and only described the subject that the project would be about; in this case, it was based around the 3D imaging software MIMICS. After our group had decided to work on this project, the professor then decided to tell us more details. Purportedly, we were to program an add-on to this software that would expand the capabilities of the software. With us being undergraduate BME students with very little computer science experience however, it became apparent to us after numerous meetings with another adviser that this project would fail. At the end we simply had to part ways a third into the semester and rush to find another capstone project to join into.
