What is the Computer Science Capstone like?

Sounds good, thanks to both of you for your inputs. Seems like the difficulty then is coming up with a good topic that is broad enough to be interesting but not too broad. That matches what others said about the course as well.

Previously I had blown the course off thinking I could get away with writing something bogus like "history of computer science" or something equally ridiculous. I even have a couple of older math history books that might have helped. Now it looks like I may need to re-evaluate that and consider what, exactly, the thesis question should be.

TrailRunr -- I wanted to ask you about your math courses. How was the TESU modeling course? It looked interesting but I haven't taken Calc 3 or diffy q's. I know the course lists Calc 2 as the requirement but since it involves DEs it seems it might be helpful to learn those first. On that, which two edX courses did you take and were those worthwhile beyond checking the box for the degree? I am trialing MATLAB and considering a license for it especially since I can use it in the algos class, and would like to explore using it beyond that. I might take the edX courses or get the TESU modeling text and go through it on my own later. Thanks!
