Competition Overview
The Southeastern Section of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) hosts a Student Poster Competition at each annual Section Conference. The competition is the only venue where undergraduate students can present their technical research at the conference. Unlike conference papers, the posters are not required to have engineering education-related content.
Divisions
Students may submit a poster to one of the following divisions.
- Lower-Division Team (First-Year and Second-Year/Freshmen and Sophomore)
- Upper-Division Team (Third-Year and Fourth-Year/Junior and Senior)
- Individual Undergraduate Research
Teams are categorized based on the classification of the highest-ranking member of their team. For example, a team composed of two second-year students and one third-year student would submit as an Upper-Division Team.
