Scenes from International Engineering

 

Call for Proposals

There are two opportunities to contribute your knowledge and opinion to the Colloquium:

  1. Showcase your program via a poster session
  2. Contribute to a panel, working session, or plenary.

1. Poster Session Proposals

This is a great opportunity if you have an international engineering program, short-term overseas program, intensive language immersion program or unique internships abroad. Create a physical poster for display during the Colloquium that will be exhibited during the "Grand Information Fair".

You may download the submission form HERE. Posters proposals will be submitted to the Steering Committee for final approval.

2. "Join a Session" Proposals

A wonderful way to show off your knowledge and experience on a specific topic is to join a scheduled session. In collaboration with co-presenters you will bring to the table in any format your experience and opinion on the stated topic. Session format is to be determined by co-presenters.

Below is the list of scheduled sessions. Please read through them and select which one you would like to join and contribute. Then fill out the session proposal form, stating why you think your experience and contributions are related to each chosen topic. Below are examples of sessions from the 2010 Colloquium. 2012 sessions will be posted soon.
