The SWE Collegiate Poster and Rapid Fire Competitions offer an opportunity for SWE undergraduate and graduate collegiate members to promote their research and practice communicating it during the SWE annual conference. Entrants have two options. The Poster Competition emphasizes the ability to deliver visual presentations. The Rapid Fire Competition is a five- to six-minute speaking presentation that emphasizes the ability to communicate technical information verbally to a broad audience.
The following participants are this year’s winners.
