The Faculty has a 25-year history in administering and evaluating fourth year Capstone projects. In fact, Carleton was the first university in Canada to adopt team-style projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">These major design projects are an excellent opportunity for fourth year students to develop professional-level experience by applying, honing, integrating and extending previously acquired knowledge and skills. Capstone projects foster an entrepreneurial spirit and passion for real world problem solving, and serve as an opportunity to explore new ideas which require ongoing commitment, critical thinking and improvisational skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>The defining element of Capstone projects are their real-world application, and many projects focus on serving the community as a whole.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"an-interdisciplinary-capstone-success-story\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">An interdisciplinary Capstone success story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenorthernnomad.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Northern Nomad<\/a>\u00a0is a net-zero energy tiny house born from the collaborative efforts of Carleton architecture and engineering students.
