Future of SPEEPLER

How can it be improved?

Could it be implemented in a different environment?

RECOMMENDATIONS• Make sure all of your

group members have the pre-requisites for Capstone

• Give yourself enough time to work through all of the issues that may arise

CONCLUSION

Working on our capstone project has put our education in perspective.

We have used concepts that we previously learned, but have also learned new concepts that we’ve actively applied into this project.
