North Jersey Spring 2012 Student Presentation Contest

---

The Spring 2012 Student Presentation Contest is coming up! The North Jersey Section will be holding presentation contests scheduled for February 28th for undergraduate and graduate students. Its overwhelming success in generating student participation and interest make it a fantastic event for up and coming engineers.

The main focus of the presentation contest is to give students an opportunity to sharpen their communication skills, and help prepare for real life situations as practicing engineers and researchers. Additionally, the North Jersey Section contest provides an excellent chance for students to practice for the Region I Student Paper contest in the spring.

The contest at the North Jersey Section level is also supplemented by awarding cash prizes to the three best presentations in both graduate and undergraduate categories. All engineering students are encouraged to participate in submitting individual presentations on any project work RELATED to engineering. This LOCAL contest does NOT require students to write a full paper, just a slide-based presentation on technical or non-technical work is sufficient. Senior design projects, lab projects, personal engineering hobbies, engineering policy etc. are great topics to submit. Moving onto the regional contest requires submitting a short written paper.

The details of contest RULES, JUDGING criteria, viable TOPICS for presentations, and ABSTRACT FORM WILL BE SAME AS LAST YEAR. Please contact your chapter president for judging criteria.

This year's North Jersey Section Contest will be open to graduate and undergraduate students and first/second/third place prizes will be awarded in each category of $100/$75/$50. All participants MUST REGISTER by submitting their presentation to the North Jersey SAC Chair (john.taylor86@live.com)no later February 25th.
