Student Paper Competition

Introduction:

This is the 8th year of the student paper competition (started from the 2001 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA). The awards consist of a certificate, and are a prestigious addition to the student's CV. Students who are submitting abstracts for presentation are also invited to participate in this Student Paper Competition (see "Qualifications for Competition" below for conditions).

Abstracts submitted by students for the Student Paper Competition will be reviewed as usual by the Technical Program Committee (TPC). At that time the TPC will select 21 finalists (9 from Group I, and 3 from each of Groups II to V) for the Student Paper Competition (roughly in proportion to the number of student abstracts submitted in each group). The finalists will be notified and asked to produce a poster of their papers to be displayed during a special student poster session that will be located in the foyer of the 2nd floor of the Beijing International Convention Center (BICC). The poster is required independent of whether the student's paper has been selected as an oral presentation. The students should check the link, Poster Presentation Guide, for the preparations of their posters. On the first day of the symposium, Monday, November 3, 2008, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., all Student Finalist Posters will be presented in a special section for judging by a panel of judges representing the paper's technical group. The posters will remain on display for the duration of the symposium (from Monday, November 3 to Wednesday, November 5, 2008).

Seven awards will be given and the winners will be honored during the Tuesday Dinner/Shows on November 4, 2008.

Qualifications for Competition:

Student is first author
Work is of high quality and done by the student
Abstract clearly describes the work and includes results
Student has not won the student prize award previously from any of the IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposia (correct information must be provided during the abstract submission to avoid problems later such as removal of the student from the competition finalists or retraction of the award)

Evaluation Criteria Used by Judges:

Clarity of student's presentation
Depth of student's knowledge
Degree of the student's contribution to the project
Relevancy of the work to the field

Prizes (Total 7) Will Be Given in the Following Five Areas of the Technical Program Committee:

Medical Ultrasonics (3 Awards)
Sensors, NDE & Industrial Applications (1 Award)
Physical Acoustics (1 Award)
Microacoustics ?SAW, FBAR, MEMS (1 Award)
Transducers & Transducer Materials (1 Award)
