First Electrical and Computer Engineering Design Day: 

December 5, 2006

 $1500 in Cash Prizes for Students!

Prize Categories:

  • Senior Design 2, $500 in total prizes!
  • Other Participating Undergraduate Design Courses, $500 in total prizes!
  • Graduate Research Poster, $250 prize!
  • Open Competition- Any ECEN Student (classes, clubs, individuals), $250 prize!

 Judging criteria:  Prizes will be awarded by a panel of ECEN faculty judges.  All projects and posters will be judged by the following four criteria except the graduate student posters which do not have a demonstration.  Each of the four criteria is equally weighted.  The judging is completely independent of any grades assigned in courses. 

 

Criterion #1:  Presentation materials & project display

A poster of approximately 3’ ´ 4’ in size directed at two audiences.  One half of the poster should be aimed at a non-technical audience and describe the purpose of your project in a way your friends or parents can understand.  The other half of the poster is aimed at a technical audience and describes to engineers your technical approach, the relevant results, and how the project works (block diagram, flowchart, etc.).  You may use additional display materials if necessary.

 

Criterion #2:  Demonstration

The judges will evaluate each project on (a) how well it works and (b) how well the demonstration is done.  Is the demonstration interesting, focused, and short? 

 

Criterion #3:  Discussion

Can the design team answer technical and non-technical questions?  Can the team explain the purpose of the project to a parent or a high school student? 

 

Criterion #4:  Attitude

This criterion judges students’ salesmanship and marketing skills.  Are you enthusiastic and excited about your project?  Is your enthusiasm catching?
