Technical Presentation Competition

IMPORTANT: As of 2/7/21, this competition has had some changes. Changes were made to the timeline, abstracts are now to be written, and finalists will have to self drive a virtual presentation. This does deviate from the original information on this page but we feel students will prefer the changes we made as they allow more schedule flexibility. The rules have now been posted below.
