The objectives of this event are:
- to provide our engineering students with an opportunity to present the results of their research and class projects on a power or energy topic;
- to expose industry representatives to student work at the University of Washington;
- to give our students and their prospective employers a chance to meet each other in a setting other than an interview or a career fair;
- to attract talented students to our power engineering program;
- to have a festive event dedicated to the area of energy and power engineering.
Posters are competing in three entry categories:
1. Graduate Research (at least one graduate student among the co-authors),
2. Undergraduate research (all co-authors are undergraduate students),
3. Class (all co-authors are preparing the poster as part of their coursework in the 2014-2015 academic year).
Awards in each category (per poster):
1st place: $500
2nd place: $300
3rd place: $200
In addition, the 1st place winners in the Graduate Research and Undergraduate Research categories will receive support for round-trip travel to the international poster contest at the IEEE PES General Meeting in Denver, CO, July 26-30, 2015.
Deadline:
Submit entries by 1700 hrs. on April 10th, 2015. Send submissions to Prof. Ortega-Vazquez at:
maov@ee.washington.edu
Include the following information in your submission:
- Poster Title
- Names of students in team
- Name and email address of corresponding author
- Category you are entering in
- Do NOT attach your poster
It is important that you submit the information on time, because we need it to prepare the scoring sheet for the judges. Entries not submitted by the deadline will be accepted “by appeal” if we have time to enter it on the score sheet.
Please bring your poster to the event location at least 30 minutes prior to the event. If you have a schedule conflict, ask your co-authors or lab partners to cover for you.
