The application process to submit abstracts for the Collegiate Poster & Rapid Fire Competitions at WE21 is open until June 15th! These competitions allow SWE collegiate members to gain valuable hands-on experience while also building their leadership, technical, and public speaking skills. Subject matter is to be related to original research or work with an application in engineering. These competitions are open to all SWE collegiate undergraduate and graduate members. The Poster Competition is designed to emphasize students' ability to deliver a visual presentation, while the Rapid Fire Competition is a 5-6 minute speaking presentation emphasizing ability to present technical information in a concise and engaging manner.
Applications will be submitted in 1 of 4 categories: Undergraduate Poster, Graduate Poster, Undergraduate Rapid Fire, and Graduate Rapid Fire. The top 40 finalists (10 in each category) will receive funding to attend WE21. Collegiate members may submit one abstract for consideration for both competitions. However, a student may be a finalist in only one and can indicate a preference for one or both during abstract submission. The abstract submission deadline is June 15, 2021 at 11:59pm CT. See the links below for more information and to apply.
