The 14th Annual NC State University
Undergraduate Research Symposium
Thursday, April 28, 2005
Talley Student Center, North Carolina State University
Abstracts & Applications due: Friday, April 15, 2005
Eligible Participants
Undergraduates in all departments at North Carolina State University
engaged in scholarly research under the supervision of one or more
faculty or off campus mentors are eligible to participate.
Interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research contributions are
encouraged.
Format
The research project must be summarized in an abstract of 300 words or
less. This abstract will be published on the web and in the abstract
booklet. On the day of the symposium, the student author(s) must
present their research project to groups and individuals during a
morning or afternoon session. All presentations are in poster format of
36" x 48" that can be oriented vertically or horizontally. Poster
printing is free. Lunch is provided.
Recognition
Participants choose one of four award categories in which to designate
their research project: Biological Sciences, Engineering and
Technology, Humanities and Social Sciences or Physical and Mathematical
Sciences. A team of faculty and off-campus judges for each category
will select the most outstanding contributions for special recognition.
The research projects, in a category, will be judged on the quality of
the work and presentation, not on how well the work relates to the
designated category. Students whose research projects are selected will
be presented a certificate by Sigma Xi at its annual banquet on
Thursday, May 5, 2005, and a small monetary award from sponsoring
groups. They will also be cited at various university forums. Students
who present outstanding contributions will be strongly encouraged to
offer their research projects in other appropriate forums.
