Guidelines

Students may set up posters prior to the start of the poster session on Monday, October 17..

All undergraduate students presenting papers at regional conferences are encouraged to submit their abstracts to the Student Poster Session. Students are able to interact one-on-one with AIChE members from industry, government, and academia. Awards are presented for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in various technical categories.

 
Submit your abstract: Follow this link for information about how to submit your abstract

Please note that this session is limited to undergraduate students. We generally accept all posters that are submitted to the session by undergraduates to encourage participation in AIChE.  When submitting your abstract, be sure to include your faculty research advisor as a co-author. To help you prepare your poster, see the poster guidelines below.

Here is a sample judging form.

Abstracts will appear in a handout distributed at the Poster Session.


Suggested presentation guidelines  

  1. Each poster will have a single poster board on which to present their full poster presentation. Please limit the size of your poster to 3ft tall by 4ft wide. Posters can be printed in color or black and white. One large poster sheet is recommended.  However, in the event that your poster will be made up of individual smaller panels, landscape format on 8.5”x11” is recommended.  Some pushpins will be available, but it is recommended that you bring your own. 

  2. The following topics are suggested for inclusion in your poster in the following order: Title (project title, names and affiliations), Abstract, Project Objectives, Background, Materials and Methods, Theory, Results, Conclusions, and Future Plans.

  3. Use as few words as possible. Bulleted lists are encouraged. Use at least 18 point font. Photographs, graphs, and schematics are best with descriptive figure titles.

  4. Keep everything as simple as possible and try to avoid overcrowding your poster. It is important that your poster is easily read by all.
