Connect with innovation. Connect with peers. Connect with your future!

You're our future and we're innovating each year to better meet your needs!
Be part of a community that supports your professional growth—from increasing your knowledge and skill set to connecting you with potential employers.

Besides presenting a paper in one of our conferences, here are some opportunities for you to build your resume and meet people who can help you further your career.

#1 Apply to be part of the EI 2022 Meet the Future: A Showcase of Student and Young Professionals Research

• Held throughout the Symposium, the Showcase allows those accepted to either 1. designate their Interactive (poster) presentation as part of the Showcase or 2. present a poster of work to complement an accepted oral presentation. 
• During the showcase, you present your work to senior researchers and engineers in an interactive setting where you:

• Get feedback on your thesis
• Discuss your interests with potential employers
• Augment your oral presentation with a longer Q&A

#2 Apply to the Demonstration Session.

• The Demonstration Session will happen during the EI technical program. The Demonstration Sessions allow EI authors to show off "material" supplemental to their paper in an "exhibit hall" atmosphere. Each accepted author is offered a complimentary Demonstration session during a specified time—assuming they apply by the deadline. Non-authors can also apply, but are charged a small fee. This is a great opportunity to show colleagues and potential employers what you can do!

#3 Apply for a Student Registration Grant.

• Be one of the maximum 15 students awarded complementary registration to the symposium! Deadline is 15 September 2021. You need not submit a paper to EI to apply.

#4 Apply to be a Short Course Monitor

• Monitors take courses for free in exchange for helping with the class. To take advantage of this, send an email to [email protected], with the subject line: Short Course Monitor Application and indicate which course(s) you are interested in.
