For students in the University of Washington Bothell\u2019s School of STEM<\/a>, the capstone project often marks the end of their undergraduate experience \u2014 a milestone achievement. Each quarter, the school showcases student work in an Undergraduate Capstone & Symposium event where students studying biological and physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, and computing and software systems share their research and projects through oral and poster presentations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students at the autumn quarter 2024 event on Dec. 13 presented on a range of projects, from app development and internships with tech companies to research into the most pressing issues affecting the climate and human health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is pretty much the culmination of their undergraduate experience,\u201d said Dr. Mike Stiber, professor and chair of the school\u2019s Division of Computing & Software Systems. \u201cAll these wonderful projects are thanks to our students \u2014 but also to the sponsors who support these projects, the faculty who lead students in this work and, of course, the family and loved ones who support all of our students during the trials of their undergraduate studies.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safeguarding an endangered language<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In her capstone project, senior Fangxia Ding put her Computer Science & Software Engineering major skills to use supporting the development of an app for the language spoken by the Blackfoot tribe in North America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Blackfoot language is endangered, and we really want to help preserve it and make it accessible to more learners,\u201d Ding said. \u201cThis project holds significant value as it merges modern technology with cultural preservation, creating a tool that promotes both language learning and cultural engagement.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the mentorship of Dr. Min Chen, a professor in the School of STEM and the project lead, Ding supported development work for the app called I’poyit. As it already had the basic learning modules in place when Ding joined the team, her role included comprehensive cross-platform testing. She also designed and implemented a \u201ccommitment time\u201d feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe goal of the \u2018Commitment Time\u2019 feature is to allow users to customize their goals, track their progress and share their achievements, thereby enhancing motivation and providing a sense of accomplishment,\u201d Ding said. \u201cMy contributions improved the app\u2019s usability and personalization. On a personal level, I gained valuable experience in full-stack development, and I also developed skills in collaborative teamwork, which will benefit me in my future career.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building tools for business professionals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Faizan Dhankwala saw his capstone project as an opportunity to devise a useful tool for his peers as they prepare to embark on their professional lives. As the senior majoring in Applied Computing looked around at website-building sites and resources available on the market, he saw a need for an online portfolio builder that was geared for users with minimal technical expertise but that still could create a sophisticated, dynamic portfolio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are a lot of resources for making websites but not really any tailored toward business students and professionals,\u201d he said. \u201cI like to get creative with development, and I wanted to make something that helps other students as well.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his project, called crea8folio, Dhankwala connected with UW Bothell Career Services and several business students for input on what was lacking in existing tools. While professionals in other professions may rely mostly on resumes or curricula vitae, he noted that those in business also need a place to put testimonials, blogs and product or service information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dhankwala gathered roughly 20 business students in a series of usability tests to provide feedback on what worked and what didn\u2019t work, as well as additional features they\u2019d like to see. Once he has a final version, he said he plans to make the portfolio builder open source and freely available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing genetic lab research<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Capstone events are typically for seniors in their final quarter, but other students, such as junior Sophia Gillis, can also participate. A double major in Biology and Psychology, she said her interests in the field of medicine are broad, noting that she views her college education as a time to explore new things and gain hands-on experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, Gillis served as a fellow at the UW\u2019s Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, where she completed a 10-week summer research program. Under the mentorship of Dr. Thelma Escobar, assistant professor in the UW\u2019s Department of Biochemistry<\/a> in Seattle and a principal investigator at ISCRM, Gillis\u2019 research centered on CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), a cutting-edge technique for gene editing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gillis was particularly interested in CRISPR\u2019s applications in cancer research and in exploring other diseases and disorders. Her research focused on peptide-assisted gene editing, which she said is less toxic and thus doesn\u2019t result in high cell deaths as compared with other techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a very good experience for me,\u201d Gillis said. \u201cI\u2019ve never been in a proper professional lab, and it wasn\u2019t really my comfort zone. I learned so much about all the intricacies and all the steps that go into actual lab work. It really helps me reorient my college career.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This collaborative work provides our students the chance to participate in supportive partnerships as they engage in faculty-led research and industry initiatives \u2014 while preparing to join the regional workforce upon graduation.”\u00a0<\/p>Dr. Jennifer McLoud-Mann, dean of the School of STEM<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Applying computer science to preservation<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Drew Rigby is a senior majoring in Applied Computing \u2014 and he is passionate about oceanography. For his capstone project, Rigby was looking for a challenge when he had the idea of combining both his interests by creating a pH sensor for the ocean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His goal, he clarified, wasn\u2019t to develop the most advanced sensor but rather one that was basic and accurate. He aimed for a sensor that could be replicated by high school students and used as a hands-on learning tool for teachers to add to their curriculum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was something that I could do in 10 weeks, but it was also challenging and something I knew other students have tried and failed to do,\u201d Rigby said. \u201cI was really determined to get it working.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a great deal of trial and error \u2014 and soldering \u2014 Rigby said he met his goal and finished the project with a working sensor. This project also solidified his interest in finding a career that blends computer science and oceanography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI initially got into computer science because it was something that challenged me, and I really want to do something in my life that will continue to challenge me,\u201d Rigby said. \u201cAlong the way, I also realized I want to do something that\u2019s going to have a tangible effect beyond software, and I\u2019m really interested in the preservation of the ocean and the environment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the next step forward<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Capstone projects are both a culmination of a student\u2019s education and a taste for what\u2019s possible after graduation when they move on to pursue graduate studies or enter the workforce. From participating in groundbreaking research into cures for diseases such as cancer to developing the latest digital tools, UW Bothell students begin to make their mark on the world before they\u2019ve even left the campus, said Dr. Jennifer McLoud-Mann, dean of the School of STEM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis quarterly event celebrates the accomplishments of our STEM students, highlighting the significance of student-faculty relationships in project-based experiential learning opportunities and recognizing the contributions of our industry collaborators in cultivating real-world problem-solving skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis collaborative work provides our students the chance to participate in supportive partnerships as they engage in faculty-led research and industry initiatives \u2014 while preparing them to join the regional workforce upon graduation,\u201d she said. \u201cI look forward to seeing where our graduates go next.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
