Call for Participation in Engineering Video Competition

SIMMONS RESEARCH LAB COMPETITION:

Are you an engineering student who participates in activities or organizations outside of the classroom? We want to hear from you!

Individuals will have the opportunity to create a 2-4 minute video that conveys the impact of participation in out-of-class activities (including but not limited to design competition teams, professional societies, internships, student organizations) on their education and/or future career. The videos should creatively communicate the value and relevance of involvement in out-of-class groups or activities.

The audience for your message is students who are beginning their engineering studies. Undergraduate students and graduate students are eligible to enter and each of the two groups will be judged separately.

Only one (1) video submission is allowed per individual. While only one (1) video submission is allowed per individual, there is no limit to the number of submissions that reflect on a single student organization.
