IEEE Canada Student Paper Competition
IEEE Canada announces the winners of the 2003 IEEE Canada
Student Paper Competition. For each Council in Canada (Western, Central
and Eastern), there are three awards. The first one is the IEEE Life Member
Award that is granted to the best overall paper, which consists of a prize
of $400 per team. When this award is granted, the two other awards are
granted amongst the remaining papers, with the Hackbusch Award going to
the best paper by University student(s) and the Palin Award to the best
paper by College student(s). These two awards consist of a $250 prize per
team.
In addition to the cash prizes, the winners will receive a congratulations
letter and a certificate. The title of the winning papers as well as the name
of their authors will be published on the IEEE Student Paper Contest Hall of
Fame web site (on the IEEE Student Concourse web site).
