Each year, fourth-year students in Carleton University’s Faculty of Engineering and Design incorporate everything they’ve learned during their academic careers in a final project that solves real-world problems. This year’s project fairs take place on Friday, March 27 and Saturday, March 28, 2015.
These events are free and open to the public, and media are invited to attend. There will be great photo opportunities on site. Faculty and students from several departments will be on hand to explain how they are solving real-world problems.
