The Spring 2008 Student Presentation Contest is coming up!! The North Jersey Section will be holding presentation contests scheduled for March 25 for undergraduate students and on March 27 for graduate students. This contest has been held in years past. Its overwhelming success in generating student participation and interest make it a fantastic event for up and coming engineers. This year's contest will feature similar prizes ($$$) and have graduate and undergraduate categories.
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 undergradudate categories. All engineering students are encouraged to participate in submitting team or 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 projets, 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. Also, if you would like to get an idea of what topics would be appropriate or how you can prepare your abstract, take a look at winners from past years at the NNJ IEEE SAC homepage archive.
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 an abstract by filling in the form available at the SAC website to qualify as a contest participant.
Welcome back to the beginning of a new year of student activities for the North Jersey Section. This year promises to be filled with new activities and events. We hope you and your student branches will be participating in all of these events throughout the 2007-2008 academic year. Also, since the year is just getting started, it is a good time for a refresher on what your branch must be doing to be recognized by the IEEE. Information about IEEE, student branch bylaws and forms to fill out is available on the website given below.
My name is Russell Pepe, and I plan to Chair the Student Activities Committee (SAC) again this year. You can reach me at the following e-mail address: northjerseysac@ieee.org. I met several of you last year at and look forward to working with all of you during the upcoming school year.
To start off with, if you have not had elections yet, it would be a good idea to hold them and report to IEEE with the officer election form. Also, coming up is a leadership workshop that new (or potentially new) officers can attend to get essential training on running a branch. Your branch should fill out an annual plan of events in the fall and an annual report in the spring. Part of the reporting is on membership, which qualifies the branch for per member rebates. It's free money for turning in the right forms by the right time. Speaking of money, your branch should also plan fundraisers for basic expenses. If you really want to get started right, host one of these leadership workshops to learn the basics. Contact the organizer below. So what's happening this year? Lots of things!! Details of the event's exact location, date, time, directions, and registration will become available on the SAC website below. Free Student Leadership Training Workshops in and Professional Skills Development Workshop will start up in the fall. Instead of just holding single workshops, multiple individual workshops will be held at each university who wishes to receive formal training at their local branch for this and upcoming year's students. This holds true for both the leadership and professional skills training. If you would like to host these events then contact the organizer below. The annual Paper Presentation Contest is also planned for mid February/early March. This is a chance for students to showcase their hard work on different projects worked on during the year. It is open to both graduate and undergraduate students.
Last, but not least, the SAC and GOLD committees are looking for volunteers who might be graduating soon and would like to help out in the North Jersey Section. To find out how you can help, contact northjerseysac@ieee.org , and visit the new website at http://ewh.ieee.org/r1/north_jersey/sac. You will find the latest information updated there or you can also join the mailing list to get regular reminders of different events.

There will be a free Student Branch Leadership Workshop offered in Area B. IEEE-CCNY is hosting on Dec. 1st from 9:00 to 2:00 PM
This is an excellent opportunity for student leaders at local branches to gain an understanding of how IEEE works, where the student branch fits in, running the student branch 101, fundraising, reporting, awards, and much much more info !!
If you don't already know, this workshop is to provide students (undergraduate, graduate, and Graduates of the Last Decade-GOLD members) an opportunity to get professional skills education that is not available in an academic environment. Comparable to last year's workshop, the agenda will include topics emphasizing softer skills that engineers need to succeed in today's working world. Previous topics included career planning and management, overcoming fears, and public communication skills.
The PSDW Fall program will include new professional topics and new speakers from industry/academia. Check out the agenda and speakers giving the talks.
Remember, this workshop is open to all interested engineering students and GOLD members that want to learn such professional skills and have an edge before they goto work or at their current jobs.
To start off with, if you have not had elections yet, it would be a good idea to hold them and report to IEEE with the officer election form. Also coming up is a leadership workshop that new (or potentially new) officers can attend to get essential training on running a branch. Your branch should fill out an annual plan of events in the fall and an annual report in the spring. Part of the reporting is on membership which qualifies the branch for per member rebates. Its free money for turning in the right forms by the right time. Speaking of money, your branch should also plan fundraisers for basic expenses.
So what's happening this year ? Lots of things !! Details of the event's exact location, date, time, directions, and registration will become available on the SAC website below. Free Student Leadership Training Workshops, Professional Skills Development Workshop. This workshop is planned for early November., Paper Presentation Contest.

You can participate at NJIT, here is the info: The student presentation contest originally planned for Tuesday, March 6 was delayed by one week due to the storm that wasn't. Despite the change of date, the contest was well attended and had a good number of participants. There were close to 40 attendees and six registered presenters. Five judges volunteered their time to grade each of the speakers. The purpose of the contest is to help students improve their communication and presentation skills. Each presenter received the judge's comment sheets to help touch up their weaker areas.
The contest started with dinner and then moved right into the graduate and undergraduate catagories. Many different topics were covered using highly creative slide programs. Students from Fairleigh Dickinson University and New Jersey Institute of Technology covered topics from bio-medial engineering to Petri Nets to the SETI project. Winners in both catagories were awarded 1st/2nd/3rd place prizes in the amounts of $100/$75/$50 respectively. All participants also received official certificates.

This year's Region I Contest will be held at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont on Saturday, April 8, 2000. All the details of their program can be found at http://www.norwich.edu/ieee/index.html .
The contest at the North Jersey Section level is also supplemented by awarding cash prizes to the three best presentations in both graduate and undergrad categories. All engineering students are encouraged to participate in submitting team or 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.
The details of contest RULES, JUDGING criteria, viable TOPICS for presentations, and ABSTRACT form will be same as last year. Also if you would like to get an idea of what topics would be appropriate or how you can prepare your abstract, take a look at the winners of the 1999 Presentation Contest.

This year's workshop will be facilitated by North Jersey Student Activities Guru - Amy Galarowicz. She will be presenting a program on branch operations, funding, how to start and hold activities, awards, etc. Along with the traditional program will be a guest speaker, Mirelle White - Member Benefits Administrator from IEEE headquarters, talking about specific services the IEEE has to offer for students and recent graduates. And of course, what better place to network with your fellow IEEE student peers and strike up new collaborations.
This workshop is targeted especially for existing officers, NEWLY elected officers, or students wishing to become IEEE student branch officers. It aims to help students become familiar with their official duties, how to run a branch, how the entire IEEE organization relates to their local branch, and other skills necessary for such elected positions.
The best part of this workshop is that its free !! No registration fees are being charged. Only a basic attendance form needs to be filled out by student branches so as to get a better count of the number of participants. For more information contact: via email at northjerseysac "AT" ieee "DOT" org.
This would be an excellent opportunity for all North Jersey Branches to participate in creating a website not only to enter into the contest, but also as a way to inform its student communities. Additionally, the contest is geared for teaching teamwork. The website should not be done by just one person alone, the whole branch can participate by helping to plan out the site, and build individual pieces of it to tie together.
This contest can also be used to generate income. If your treasury has NO MONEY, what better way to get some than by winning it ! As is detailed below there are numerous prizes to be awarded to many different branches.
