 CALL FOR PAPERS

"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."---Albert Einstein

Mind of a student should be free to explore the universe of knowledge beyond realms of his academic portals. Such enlightenment can only come through interaction and involvement in activities in diverse domains. Freedom of ideation and excitement of being appreciated by peers can only but enhance this quest for excellence. TechSym'10 is your chance to see the limelight of technical emergence and professional glory. The IEEE Student Branch of IIT Kharagpur in collaboration with IEEE Education Society SAC, IEEE EMB Student Club, IIT - NID Group and WIE creates a unique platform for you.

The organizing committee of the IEEE Students' Technology Symposium 2010 invites scholastic contributions in the form of articles for oral/poster presentations. Submissions are invited for presentations at the following tracks:

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
Proceedings of IEEE TechSym 2010 will be published online through Proceedings of IEEE Conference on IEEEXplore / Proceedings of ACM.

MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES
Manuscripts should be at least 5 pages and support complete color illustrations. Manuscripts are to be prepared according to IEEE two-column conference format in letter-paper. Articles prepared using Latex2e are encouraged. IEEE conference templates are available here.

Faculty members and industry professionals working in the domains mentioned above can submit their papers and will be considered for extended publication in IEEE MEEM but they will not qualify for the best student paper award.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Submissions will be accepted only by electronic submission through Microsoft CMT.

In addition to the main technical program, the symposium will also include technology quiz and scientific model making contest.

TECHNOLOGY QUIZ
The Quiz session will be modeled on the lines of "How things work" and will be a based on application of science and technology in daily life. Questions will be set keeping in consideration of fresher and sophomore university students in mind.

SCIENTIFIC MODEL MAKING CONTEST
Scientific model making contest is designated to School Students and Bachelor students only. The selected students will be encouraged to develop the prototype and file the IP for the designs if it achieves the desired levels of novelty and market potential.

A special track in the contest will be introduced with a separate award on behalf of WIE to encourage school girls to take up engineering as their career.

Authors beyond IEEE R-10 can deliver their presentations online.
