Welcome
The M&AE Seminar Series aims, not only to broaden the exposure of our students and faculty to new ideas and technical matters outside of their specific research focus, but also to foster a culture of open discussion among members of the Department. Our objective is to host speakers from both inside and outside of the Department, with a portion of the talks delivered by our graduate students. Speakers will be encouraged to make their presentations interesting and accessible to a relatively broad audience.
- Attendance at M&AE seminars is a program requirement for all M&AE thesis-based graduate students. Attendance will be recorded at all seminars. Ph.D. students must satisfy this requirement within 6 terms of initial registration.
- You must attend 10 (ten) seminars for M.A.Sc. to satisfy this requirement
- You must attend 15 (fifteen) seminars for Ph.D. to satisfy this requirement
- Visitors: Click here for a campus map of Carleton.
For more information about the series, to suggest a speaker, or to volunteer as a speaker, please contact Prof. Xin Wang. The current seminar schedule is posted below and is updated as needed.
- Schedule updated regularly
- All seminars will be in the afternoon
- Abstract to be added when ready
- Attendance sheets provided at all seminars
