Welcome!
Engineering students from Carleton University have participated in the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race since 1995. This longstanding tradition has given students the chance to apply their skills and knowledge in a hands on way. Our team travels across Canada each year to race toboggans against over 20 other universities and technical institutions located from coast to coast.
Each year leading up to the competition team members spend many hours designing and manufacturing the toboggan and technical display. It is a massive undertaking that requires a significant time commitment from everybody involved.
In 2005 Carleton Engineering had its greatest GNCTR success to date. The Carleton Stonecutters placed 1st overall and won several other awards such as ‘Best Braking System’ and the RJC Engineering Excellence Award. Carleton’s most recent success includes winning ‘Best Concrete Mix’ and ‘Most Sustainable Design’ at the competition hosted by the University of Ottawa in 2016. With the support of Carleton University, The Faculty of Engineering, the Carleton Student Engineering Society, our Sponsors and many volunteers we hope to go above and beyond these fantastic results, showcasing the talent of the engineering students at Carleton University.
