3rd Annual TMS Student Poster Session

For an opportunity to win $500, network with materials science and engineering professionals, and present your research, you can participate in the 3rd Annual TMS Student Poster Session, which will be held in New Orleans at the 2001 TMS Annual Meeting. The poster session will begin on Monday, February 12, and run through Wednesday, February 14. Annual Meeting attendees will have the opportunity to vote for the Best Poster, and the winner will receive $500.

Guidelines

• Poster presentations should be of technical interest to individuals in the fields of minerals, metals & materials.
• Authors must be full-time students, pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees.
• All authors must register to attend the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition and be present to put up and take down their posters.
• Each author may use up to a 1.2 m x 1.2 m space. The author will be assigned a display number prior to the conference, designating where the poster should be hung.
• Any visual aids that might clarify the results of the work are encouraged. Do not, however, post the paper’s text. Graphics should be simple, colorful, well-labeled, and clear. The title should be in letters 2 cm to 5 cm high and all materials should be readable from a distance of 2 m.
