A Capstone Experience That Will Set You Apart
The main component of the capstone course is a semester-long research project on a relevant topic in the energy industry. Projects are designed with the help of the instructor. The instructor will mentor you as you work in collaboration with a company or professional organization.
You will integrate the knowledge and skills gained through other courses and experiences in the MGsc program and apply conceptual geoscience knowledge to solve applied spatial problems in the energy field. Concurrently, you will build on communication and professional skills through direct interactions with industry professionals. Some students will have the opportunity to take advantage of professional conferences to present their projects, or may submit their work to industry magazines.
From our Former Students
"I found the capstone course not only a way to apply all the excellent content from the program in a real business scenario, it was personally extremely rewarding to see the direct application of the skills gained. Learning that I still lean on today and emulate in my career."
— Andrew Norris '19

"The Capstone Experience course provided valuable experience and insight into what the research process looks like from start to finish. Additionally, helpful feedback from Dr. Klein and other students, many of whom are already professional geoscientists, further enabled this opportunity to apply real-world problem solving to industry questions."
