Student Poster/Demo
Computing in Action - Student Competition

Application for the competition is accepted by Email ONLY and should be made by Students ONLY.

Today's dynamic and challenging world of Civil Engineering is offering students an opportunity to explore and propose new solutions. The objectives of the "Computing in Action" competition are to

  • Engage engineering undergraduate and graduate students in presenting creative research and development of computer tools that address industry needs.
  • Increase the number of students who participate at international events and foster exchange of innovative ideas and exciting experiences.

The competition aims to encourage students to present the result of their independent study in a poster and demonstration session.

Submit an abstract together with the following complete information:

  1. Title of Paper
  2. Author(s) Name, Email, Mailing Address
  3. Indicate which aspect is addressed by the study in each of the three dimensions CIT, A/E/C Disciplines, and Life-Cycle (e.g., GIS, transportation, maintenance)
  4. Abstract (150 words).

A board of judges composed of faculty and industry will evaluate submissions and presentations. The evaluation criteria are:

  1. Intellectual Challenge
  2. Societal and A/E/C Relevance
  3. Applicability and Financial Reward in Case of Productization

Students are to present their entry at the ICCCBE-IX.
