ME Three Minute Thesis Competition
ME Three Minute Thesis Competition
Hosted by the Mechanical Engineering Advisory Council
Please join us for the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department's inaugural Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. ME graduate students will have exactly three minutes to explain their research in an engaging and easy-to-understand format. A panel of judges will choose the top two winning presentations and there will also be a People's Choice award. Cash prizes go to all three presentations.
The evening will be an exciting display of the diversity of research in ME today, with topics ranging from energy and the environment to human health. ME's graduate students engage in pioneering, interdisciplinary research and will become the next leaders in mechanical engineering in both academia and industry. The purpose of the competition is to celebrate the innovative research conducted by our graduate students and to cultivate their academic, presentation, and research communications skills.
