Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering Student Research Poster Competition

All Department of Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering (MMAE) undergraduate and graduate students are invited to participate in a research poster competition hosted by the MMAE department in the John T. Rettaliata Engineering Center on Friday, April 8, 2022 from 12:45–5 p.m.

The MMAE Student Research Poster Competition is a long-standing tradition of the department, drawing keen interest and wide participation among students, faculty, and the Illinois Tech community. Students from all research areas and levels of study within MMAE have an opportunity to showcase their individual research work to their peers and the public while competing for distinction and monetary prizes. The presentations are evaluated using a grading rubric, highlighting originality and relevance of the research as well as overall presentation skills. The awards are presented in three categories: bachelor's, master's and doctorate-level research. The panel of judges is invited to represent both academia and industry and is comprised of MMAE External Advisory Board members, Illinois Tech professors, and community partners. The event culminates with a technical lecture by the recipient of the MMAE Distinguished Alumni Award, Professor Lewis Thigpen of Howard University. 

Please join to share your scientific knowledge and compete for a prize or to cheer for your favorite poster and support your community. Everyone is invited!
