ASME Internal Combustion Engine

The Internal Combustion Engine Award (ICE) recognizes eminent achievement or distinguished contribution over a substantial period of time, which may result from research, innovation, or education in advancing the art of engineering in the field of internal combustion engines; or in directing the efforts and accomplishments of those engaged in engineering practice in the design, development, application, and operation of internal combustion engines. In 1966, by bequest, the Diesel and Gas Engine Power Division established this award.

Undergraduate Student Research Competition Presentations and Lunch

Monday, October 9 | 11:30 am – 1:00 pm

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 winning students will receive free conference registration for the conference along with paid travel and lodging expenses for the conference. Many of the past winners have made connections during the conference leading to recruitment for career and graduate school opportunities.
