Format for student "résumé" for capstone projects?
In the end, I decided to go with a functional résumé.

The benefits were:


The students could tailor the academic course list to those relevant to their projects.
The students could emphasize some of their background interests that were also relevant.


The downsides were:


Some students didn't "get" the idea of a functional résumé and needed several iterations to achieve one.
Some students had much more relevant experience and more relevant courses than others, which reflected badly on the students with little relevant experience or coursework.


Though both of these downsides led to teachable things, which is part of the aim of the capstone project.

Because I wanted to show all of the résumés on a projection screen, I chose the following non-standard format to show them  in one page.
