The Society of Women Engineers is proud to announce the Annual Collegiate Poster and Rapid Fire Competition student research competition finalists. These collegiate were selected from a competitive applicant pool to present their research during these sessions. The Poster portion is designed to emphasize the ability to deliver visual presentations, while the Rapid Fire portion is a 5-6 minute speaking presentation, designed to emphasize the ability to concisely and dynamically present technical information.
All SWE members who are interested are welcome to join the sessions and support student research. The presentations are quick, dynamic, and showcase cutting edge research.
Please join us for the following 2021 Student Research Competitions.
- Monday, October 18:
- Graduate Student Poster – 2:00 – 3:30 PM EST via Zoom Meeting
-  Undergraduate Student Poster – 5:00 – 6:30 PM EST via Zoom Meeting
- Tuesday, October 19:
- Graduate Student Rapid Fire – 2:00 – 3:30 PM EST via Zoom Webinar
- Undergraduate Student Rapid Fire: 5:00 – 6:30 PM EST via Zoom Webinar
These sessions are great for collegiate interested in research and design, graduate students looking to grow their network, professionals looking to recruit, or anyone with a curious mind. Each session will have Q&A portions to interact with students.
