During Engineers Week (E-Week) 2020, the College of Engineering’s Graduate Student Advisory Board (GeSAB) is hosting a Graduate Student Symposium on Friday, Feb. 21 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. in Lincoln. N-E Ride will be available for our Scott Campus-based students.
This is a great opportunity for graduate students to showcase their research, learn about research in other engineering disciplines, and to network with colleagues.
There are many ways for engineering students to participate in the symposium, including presenting as a keynote or session speaker, competing in the 3in5 Pitch Competition or Multimedia Session, attending the networking luncheon, or as an attendee. Registration for the Symposium is free and general registration will open Jan. 6.
Please encourage all of your graduate advisees to participate in this inaugural event. GeSAB has put the call out for presenters. Presenter submissions should include a short objective and summary of the research. The deadline for submissions is Dec. 2 at 5 p.m.: https://go.unl.edu/cp2n
- Keynote: A 25-minute talk which encompasses a holistic view of an engineering topic and aligns with the E-Week 2020 theme, Forging the Future. Preference will be given to graduate students at the end of their program and who exhibit interdisciplinary work.
- Session Talk: A 15-minute talk to occur within a series of presentations that share a commonality. The sessions are open to showcase research at all stages. Examples include: research ideas, review of a topic, proposals, and research results.
- Pitch Competition: Participants will have three slides to promote their idea to a panel of judges in 5 minutes with no question and answer period. Judges will represent multiple disciplines. Grand Prize is $500.
- Multimedia Session: Expanding the traditional poster session format, participants will have the opportunity to present their research through various means. Students can present a traditional research poster or can feel free to innovate. Space will be limited to 5 feet by 5 feet. Judges will represent multiple disciplines. Grand prize is $500.
