Abstract
This study describes the capstone projects evolution over the last ten years at our university. During this period, two different degrees have existed: "Technical Engineering in Computer Science" with graduated students from 2005 through 2012, and a "Degree in Computer Science Engineering" from 2013 through 2014. Herein, the evolution of some important features of the Capstone Projects is examined: duration, grade and time devoted by the advisor. This evolution defines some phases in the first degree: beginning, stabilization, maturity, and completion. The change in the degree structure is associated with changes in the performance on projects.
