- Fundamental and Applied Research in Integrated STEM

Your paper submission(s) will be one (or both) of the following:

- A work in progress (preliminary or initial stage of research/investigation) paper of 2 - 4 pages

- A full paper of 5 - 8 pages

There is no preliminary abstract phase for WIP or full papers.  Please adhere to these page limits within the conference template structure.  Papers that do not follow the template will be returned for reformatting without peer-review.

All accepted submissions will be scheduled for presentation at the conference and included in the local conference proceedings.  All Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore.

K-12 Posters Papers

Posters by K-12 students may feature student STEaM educational or research experiences.  Submit an abstract  describing the content of your poster (max. 500 words) for review.  Once accepted, students have the option of submitting an additional short paper for inclusion in conference proceedings.  Note that this paper is optional and NOT required. Posters will be judged for poster awards based on novelty, usefulness, completeness, and poster presentation by organizing committee, keynote speakers, and paper/workshop presenters. All authors of accepted posters should submit a PDF file, within a week of acceptance, of the posters in order to be included in the Xplore database. should be in vertical (portrait) format and the dimensions should be 2 x 3 (24 inches x 36 inches) The size specification must be strictly adhered to.

Any poster left behind will be discarded. The conference will supply materials for mounting posters on assigned poster boards. Author and/or co-author of the poster should be stationed by his/her poster during the poster session to engage the audience in technical discussion by presentations and answering questions. Authors of posters should interact with keynote speakers, paper/workshop presenters, and attendees to encourage visit to their posters. Authors may bring additional battery-operated audio/visual aids to enhance the presentation.
