Welcome to CERS 2012
From the CERS 2012 Chairs …
On behalf of the Engineering Graduate Student Council (EGSC), we would like to invite you to the 9th Annual College of Engineering Research Symposium (CERS 2012), that will be held on Thursday, April 5, 2012 at The Nittany Lion Inn on the University Park campus. CERS is a student-initiated, student-run event that provides a platform for undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Engineering and related areas to showcase the research being conducted at Penn State to a diverse audience of engineering/science faculty, students and industry representatives. Students are encouraged to present their research to obtain valuable feedback on their scientific work and train them for presenting at professional conferences beyond the college level. Abstracts will be published in the electronic proceedings of the symposium and accessible by symposium participants and industry representatives; authors will retain the copyright for future use.
The symposium features oral paper and poster presentations covering topics such as: Systems, Control and Communication; Biomedical Sciences; Mechanics of Materials; Data Analysis and Signal Processing; Energy and the Environment; Simulation and Mathematical Modeling; and, Future Technology and Advanced Design. Research/travel grants amounting to a total of $5000, will be awarded to recognize the Best Graduate/Undergraduate Paper/Poster submissions.
Along with presentations, CERS will also feature a distinguished speaker who will address current issues and the future direction of engineering research. At the end of the event, an industry networking session will be conducted. This session provides an excellent opportunity for students to build a network of professional contacts and gain valuable insight into the wide range of job options post-graduation.
CERS is funded through industry support, the College of Engineering, and the University Park Allocation Committee. Please contact us if you have any questions about this event or, if you would like to become a sponsor. Thank you for your interest and support for the College of Engineering Research Symposium.
Sincerely,
