Why does a capstone at Ajman University look completely different in engineering versus business?
Ajman University’s BEng Electrical Engineering program structures its capstone as two sequential courses, Capstone Graduation Project I and II, spanning two full semesters.
Engineering Structure
Students design, build, integrate, and test a complete engineering project, including preparing a PCB where the design requires one.
Project Defense
Then defend the work through a written report, oral presentation, poster presentation, and project demonstration with critical reflection on the outcomes achieved. This is not a single written document submitted at the end of the year, it is a structured, multi-format defense process spread across two terms.
MBA Structure
The MBA program, offered through Ajman University's AACSB-accredited College of Business Administration, structures its capstone entirely differently: as one required project component alongside core courses and three focus-area courses.
AACSB Standards
AACSB accreditation is held by less than 6 percent of business schools worldwide, and Ajman University is one of only 10 universities in the UAE with this distinction, meaning the MBA capstone is held to genuinely rigorous international business education standards, not just a regional benchmark.
Format and Standards
A capstone written without understanding which of these two structures actually applies misses both the format and the standard it needs to meet.
