Undergraduate Student Research Competition Presentations and Lunch
Monday, October 21, 11:30am – 1:00pm
The ASME ICED undergraduate student research competition is an annual event inviting undergraduate researchers that have studied in the field of internal combustion engines, emissions systems, fuels and sprays, or carbon management. Up to two winning submissions are selected to deliver their presentations to a group of leading experts in the internal combustion engine field at the ASME ICE Forward Conference.
The two selected students will receive complimentary conference registration and up to $1,500 in travel reimbursement. Past recipients have frequently forged valuable connections at the conference, which have led to career opportunities and graduate school recruitment.
