Abstract:

The limited literature connecting the design and implementation of capstone and major project courses in general education classrooms using a cross-disciplinary approach requires addressing. This manuscript aims to recognize Gen Z's unique characteristics in comparison to workforce requirements. Additionally, based on the groups' distinguishing traits and needs, a higher education general classroom major project or capstone course was designed. The design's purpose was to provide students with multiple opportunities to access high-impact strategies proven to enhance students' success beyond their major. An interdisciplinary process was developed to meet varying constituents' needs employing a five-phase planning and execution process.
