课程概况
Please note: The capstone project is only accessible for ID-verified MicroMasters learners who successfully obtained verified certificate in all MicroMasters programme courses
In this capstone project, you will focus on designing a sustainable biobased process. The emphasis of the project is on conversion. You will design a process from biomass to a finished product and discuss your choices for a catalyst, reactor type, organism and feedstock. You should be able to discuss your choices in the broad picture of sustainability while emphasising the conversion aspects of the process.
The final product in this capstone project is a written report.
Complete your MicroMasters credential by signing up for a virtually-proctored exam. This 2hour, multiple choice exam will test your knowledge on all topics discussed in the 3 MicroMasters programme courses.
You can only start the capstone project after completingall other courses in the MicroMasters programme in Chemistry and Technology for Sustainability with a verified certificate for every course.

常见问题
Is there an audit track?
No, you can see the first part of the Capstone assignment in the audit track. To see the rest and be able to submit it (and pass the course), you need earn a verified certificate in all other courses of this MicroMasters programme and upgrade to the verified track for the Capstone course.
Is it one big project?
This project is divided into several phases. Between these phases you will receive feedback on your progress from the course staff. We will schedule private sessions for you to directly communicate with the educational staff for any questions and in-depth feedback.
How do I gain access to the Capstone project?
To gain access to the Capstone project inthis module, you need to be added by the course team to the Verified MicroMasters Certificate-Eligible Cohort. You will be added to this cohort only if you (a) have completed (and earned verified certificates for)the first three courses in the MicroMasters programme and (b) are already registered as a verified learner for this Capstone.
If the two criteria above apply to you, please initiate the Capstone experience by letting us know you meet the requirements and request access to the verified MicroMasters certificate-eligible cohort.
After we confirm (a) that you have completed (and earned verified certificates for) the first three courses in the MicroMasters programme and (b) that you have registered for the Capstone as a verified learner, we will add you to the cohort and send you a confirmation e-mail. Note that this may take up to three business days. Once you receive the confirmation, you may proceed to Module 2.
