Abstract
Students planning to work in the software industry are best served by exposure to the type of skills necessary to acquire employment in a software developer capacity. One way to prepare students is to teach students the software development life-cycle process utilizing a design and implementation two-course capstone project. This paper describes a successful teaching approach to the capstone project by utilizing a practical hands-on approach.
