Course Overview

This course is a 3-quarter sequence.  Fall quarter is intended to give you a background in the important elements of a restoration project and the variety of challenges faced in such projects. You should gather a sense of what project elements are most crucial to the long-term success of a project and where projects commonly fail.

During winter quarter (ESRM / BES / TESC 463) you will begin your work on a group project by presenting a proposal for client approval and formulating a detailed work plan. Spring quarter (ESRM / BES / TESC 464) you will implement your work plan. In addition you will be required to develop a maintenance and monitoring manual and train the client in its use. Your group will be required to report on the project by producing an as-built report, a web page fact sheet and making oral presentations to the class and the final restoration class symposium.   Winter and spring quarters of the capstone will focus on group projects. Hence, you will be graded based upon evaluation of group products.  Peer evaluations of individual contributions to group efforts will be used to modify grades.
