Categories

  • Leadership.

• Students can request various items for their display, including a table, chairs, electricity, etc. However, each department will need to supply their students with any laptops, projectors, and/or screens.

Judging/Prizes

• Only those projects with a student present will be judged. Please make every effort to be at your project during the judging window (1:15 – 4:00 pm). For team projects, only one team member is required to be present for judging. Industry professionals will serve as judges, and each project will be evaluated by two, separate judges.
• First place will be awarded in each category. In addition, two Chancellor Awards will be awarded:  one for a graduate project and one for an undergraduate project.  An overall Best-in-Show award will also be chosen.
