Welcome to the Carleton Mechanical and Aerospace Society's (CMAS) website. CMAS is the undergraduate stream society for the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Carleton University and is completely run by students for students. The society aims to bring students, faculty and industry professionals together and provide services and events that strive to improve student life.

Throughout the year, CMAS host many events ranging from industry guest speakers from CASI (Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute) to movie nights and competitions. Regular competitions include our popular catapult competition and a paper airplane competition. CASI talks are a great opportunity for networking with major industry professionals. In the past, tours of the Vintage Wings of Canada hangar in Gatineau have been arranged. This hangar holds a large number of remarkable aircraft in pristine condition and has been well received by students. We also help fund students to go to several conferences every year such as the annual Student Aerospace Forum, and the Canadian Student Summit on Aerospace.

CMAS offers an extensive list of services including use of the CMAS office, printing, computer access, a text book library, and sales of manuals to MAE courses to name a few. The CMAS office is completely furnished with couches, a fridge, a microwave, and desk space and is open regularly throughout the day. Feel free to drop by anytime and meet other students within the department.

We encourage you to come out and participate in CMAS activities, get involved, and get to know other students, faculty, and prominent industry professionals. Once again, you can drop by the office at ME 3397 or contact us at anytime to see what's going on.

Best of Luck!
