摘要：Past pedagogical research strongly indicates that the IS capstone course should include experiential [7] and conceptual elements [3]. A strong emphasis on soft skills (e.g., interpersonal communication, teamwork, project management) is also noted [6]. However, a review of IS capstone course designs such as IS 2002.10 in the AIS model, shows that capstone courses do not emphasize soft skills and are either experiential OR conceptual in nature, not both. We offer a comprehensive design for the IS capstone course, currently in use in the Ohio University MIS Department curriculum, which integrates all the above elements. This unique course also adds a fourth dimension, career readiness, to help ensure the success of our graduates. We present the key components of this course and then discuss preliminary findings of our study which validates this approach to delivering the IS capstone
