Abstract: Managing undergraduate capstone projects is a specialised task which depends on the nature of programmes, availability of resources, inputs and the expected outcomes. Technology programmes are different from conventional engineering programmes and hence the training in technology capstone projects should be aligned with the programme objectives and expectations. This paper describes an effective policy framework and administrative process for managing the capstone projects in typical joint technology degree programmes in Trinidad and Tobago. Uniqueness of technology capstone projects and their distinct inputs and expected outcomes are illustrated. Detailed management process, assessment criteria and the experiences gained so far are presented. Few technology projects of these programmes under this framework are briefly described.
