Hi Mohammed
First I'm curious how is your capstone project set up?
Is it a course with an instructor or an individual study? Team or individual project? How much freedom do you have when proposing topics?
I'd look for faculty members whose work you find interesting because they could be a good resource, and it would help you form a connection and maybe participate in research in the future.
Mainly, what interests you? Capstone is a good opportunity to dive deeper into subjects you might want to pursue later in your career. Also a good portfolio piece.
I find local issues to be a good place to start. Water resource management is important in UAE, so maybe water conservation. Desertification and land use planning also sounds interesting. Sustainable building technologies like passive cooling or solar energy generation?
Good luck!
