Engineering Education Service Center (EESC)
Fall 2008 Poster Contest!
|
|
“Engineers Make a Difference” is the theme for the Engineering Education Service Center’s Fall 2008 Poster contest. This year’s winning entry can be found in a display of inspiration, excitement, wonder and curiosity. Posters should be fun, motivational and inspire students to pursue a degree in engineering, technology and/or science.
Engineering is humanitarian, caring and possibly the most effective, hands-on approach to make the world a better place. The engineering field can be very exciting. If you would like a career that allows you to help others on a grand scale or if you ever wanted to make the world a better place, then engineering has something for you!
Engineers strive to make our lives better, easier, cheaper, more efficient and more fun by solving problems in everyday life. Engineers are practical inventors. It is through the work of engineers that we are able to prevent devastation from hurricanes, explore other galaxies, and prevent illness from the worst diseases. The work of engineers also includes camera phones, wireless computers, satellite TV, airplanes, hydrogen powered cars, digital music, underwater robots, air conditioning, indoor plumbing, cosmetics, titanium knee and hip replacements, and the list goes on and on. Almost everything you touch has been influenced or designed by an engineer directly or indirectly. It is impossible to think of a major technical development that hasn’t included the work of engineers.
Contest deadline: 11:59pm November 12, 2008
Winners will be notified by November 18, 2008

| Each category will receive:
Grand Prize: $200 Cash, Second Place: $100 Cash, Third Place: $50 Cash
Honorable mentions to be awarded at judges' discretion.
All winners will also receive a certificate.
Submission Instructions:
Posters may be submitted electronically or on CD by mail.
Submission size for electronic submissions: 450x675 pixels - 72 dpi
Final size submissions are by invitation only: 24"x36" @ 300dpi (Do not submit this file now. The judges will request the larger size and resolution of the top 10 posters in each category by Nov. 13, 2008. At that time, the EESC will provide an ftp address for electronic submissions.)
Contest tip: All contestants should design their posters at 24"x36", 300 dpi and then save a copy that is 450x675 pixels @72 dpi for initial submission. Nothing is worse than being selected as a winner and not having your poster ready or worse yet, not being able to recreate what you made at a lower resolution. The timeline from winning notification to submission is very tight (just a few days) so be ready if you are a winner.
