The main focus of the presentation night 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. This year's Region I Contest will be held at Merrimack College in Mass. All the details of their program can be found HERE .
The contest at the Section level is also supplemented by awarding cash prizes to the three best presentations. 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, and viable TOPICS for presentations will be same as last year and can be found HERE.
