Tools

Although the Capstone Portfolio may be created in any electronic format,
HTML has substantial advantages:

		Easy to link a set of documents into a cohesive whole.
		Easy to view electronically, unlike print-based Word and PDF .
		Easy to share with potential employers, co-workers, and friends.

Instead of a one-time graduation project, students may create a portfolio which is
both a personal expression and a tool for career advancement.

Web Design

The Capstone Portfolio is a showcase for graduate work - including the ability to
