Special Session: Make It!
Does your paper include something that you or your students made? If so, apply for the Make It Session! This hands-on session is organized by the Manufacturing Division and supported by other divisions of the ASEE. This session is open for faculty, students, and researchers. Accepted papers for the Make It session will be presented in form of posters. We encourage the authors to present their posters and accompany them along with 3D printed models, artistic works, fun projects, robotics, and unique materials. Abstracts to be considered for this session should begin with the word ‘MAKER:’ in upper case. This is an excellent venue for personal hobbies and student projects.

The ASEE Manufacturing Division is a publish-to-present division which selects an overall best division presentation and an overall best division paper. All full paper submissions to the division will be considered for the awards and will be announced at the division dinner. A certificate will be provided to awardees. Specific information about deadlines and guidelines will be available at https://www.asee.org/events/Conferences-and-Meetings/2023-Annual-Conference/Paper-Management/2023-Authors   . The submission and review processes are blind. Do not include the names of institutions or authors anywhere in the abstract. Please refer to the ASEE Author’s Kit for more information.
