Capstone Information Session 2024-2025:
Capstone Information Session 2024-2025Dear 3rd year students, A Capstone INFORMATION SESSION was held on Friday, March 1 2024 11:30-2:30 in the EDC Atrium with posters, small displays and representatives from each of the projects. This event showcased the capstone projects that will be available to your cohort in the upcoming academic year (2024-2025). The posters from the event are shared on this webpage. Thank you. |
The Capstone design project courses (i.e. courses labelled MAAE4907X, and ECOR 4907X) are created to foster teamwork, communication, technical skill development and design work. All students must be 4th year eligible to enroll in a MAAE4907X / ECOR 4907X course and this 4th year status will be determined after course marks are submitted for the Winter 2024 term. Once marks are submitted, project registration will be available, and you will be sent an email with instructions.

The MAE Capstone Project-Marking Guidelines are provided to Lead Engineers and students involved in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Capstone Design Projects as guidance to carry out and interpret performance evaluations on the projects.
To apply for a small project with a team of 4-8 students, a MAE faculty member must be found and subsequently, a proposal must be prepared and submitted to the capstone committee no later than December 15, 2024. The proposal shall include objectives, scope of work, stream/specialization of the students involved, space requirement, environment/safety, and budget consideration (external support committed as there is no department funding provided). The proposal will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
The date of submission must be observed to avoid redundant registrations. |
If you have any questions please contact the Capstone Projects Coordinator – Prof. Xiao Huang (xiao.huang@carleton.ca).
