Dear PhD students and Laurence, Engineers week kicks off with the Engineering Youth Conference on Saturday February 17th. Every department has a contingent of speakers who give a 40 min preferably hands on presentation. We are the only program only featuring one presentation and we are asked to add one or more talks. All the other departments have 3 or more different presentations. Here is the link to the schedule: http://ist.gmu.edu/EngineeringConference/ We are asking that either a group of PhD students or senior design students pick up a presentation. Feb. 17 is for middle and high school students. There are 3 slots for presentations: 10-10:40 am, 11-11:40 am, 1-1:40 pm. It is requested that presenters run their session at each of the 3 time slots, though if you are not able to do all three, just let us know which ones you can do.
