Welcome to Carleton's Engineering & Design Student For a Day Program!

Spend the day as a Carleton student: tour campus, attend classes, labs and more!

As a Student For A Day, you’ll be paired with an engineering, architecture, industrial design or information technology student committed to maintaining our inclusive, comfortable, and safe environment. Your designated Student Guide can answer your questions, share their experiences and provide an insider’s look into Carleton’s engineering and design programs.

Throughout the day, you will:

  • Tag along to your Student Guide’s day of lectures, laboratories and tutorial sessions
  • Get an insider perspective on Carleton’s campus and student life
  • Experience a free lunch in our all-you-can-eat Residence dining hall
  • Have your questions about campus and academics answered

To wrap up your day, you can request to meet with a representative from the Engagement Office who can answer any engineering and design admissions questions.

Experience daily lectures and classes

Dive right in! When you tag along to your Student Guide's classes for the day, you'll meet other students, professors and a sneak peek of what learning in the classroom truly is like.

Participate in cutting-edge labs

Our Engineering and Design programs are hands-on degrees. Our laboratories are designed for students to not only learn and test what they learn, but to innovate and spur on creativity.

Explore campus and student life

Immerse yourself in what could be your daily walk on campus and student life. Enjoy breathtaking views of the canal, stunning architecture and some of our buildings' hidden gems!

Ask us your questions!

This is your opportunity to ask the decision-making questions you've been thinking about. No question is too big or too small. We're here to support you!
