Prizes of $500\, $400\, $300 depending on ranking as well as formal recognition (certificate) by the Section will be given to selected projects (one prize per project). Winning projects w ill be selected on the basis of merit at the discretion of an appointed te chnical committee without the possibility of appeal.\n\nPlease register yo ur team at https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/275016 using your IEEE members hip number by 11:55 PM MDT\, July 19\, 2021.\n\nAlso submit the following material to Prof. Maiga Chang at prof.maiga.chang@ieee.org no later than J uly 31\, 2021:\n\n- A list containing the names of the student(s) composin g the project team and faculty advisor(s)\, where applicable\;\n\n- Name a nd contact information of the institution\, department\, department chair\ , and IEEE Student Branch Advisor\, if applicable\;\n\n- Title the Capston e project\;\n\n- Date and time the project will be presented\, if applicab le\, and whether the presentation will be open to the public\;\n\n- A two- page (maximum) abstract of the Capstone project\, which must contain the f ollowing elements:\n\narea (field) the project belongs to (e.g.\, electron ics\, telecommunications\, power\, etc.)\; a description of the engineerin g problem the project is intended to solve\; a description of and reasonin g behind the chosen methodology\; if hardware was created\, highlight its fundamental working elements and a describe its functionality\; a descript ion of how the proposed project advances the current state-of-the-art\; a description of the main findings of the project and how future research co uld improve upon the project’s current contribution(s).\n\nAll submissio n materials must be prepared in pdf format only.\n\nWith this initiative\, the Section expects to increase student awareness of IEEE and its activit ies\, as well as to provide an avenue to reduce the financial burden stude nts may face during a Capstone project development.\n\nBoth domestic and i nternational students may apply. The student’s home post-secondary insti tution must be headquartered within the jurisdiction of the IEEE Northern Canada Section. The winner(s) must collect their prize and certificates in person at one of the Northern Canada Section’s events\, if the student( s) reside in Edmonton.\n\nEligibility for this scholarship is dependent on IEEE membership status - the team must consist of members of IEEE.
