Freshmen & Sophomore Open Topic Competition Rules

This year the Region II Student Conference is going to once again continue with a recently added paper competition category. The goal of this category is to provide experience in a paper competition without requiring the submissions to be held to the level of technical depth of the technical paper competition. Freshman and Sophomore students are welcome to submit their work in the technical paper competition instead if they feel that their work is better suited for that category.

  • The Open Topic category is open only to Freshman and Sophomores.
  • This category requires a paper to be submitted that follows the same formatting guidelines as the technical paper competition (AIAA Author Kit).
  • The presentation of work will follow the same guidelines as the technical paper competition (Details are listed on the Presenters Info page under Presentation Time Limits).
  • No more than two student authors may prepare and/or present a paper in this category.
  • Any engineering related topic will be acceptable for this category (including aerospace historical topics).

Cash prizes will be award for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The amount of the prizes will be $75 for 1st place, $50 for 2nd place, and $30 for 3rd place.

NASA Undergraduate Internship

New for 2008 Student Conferences

Based on the recommendations of each region’s student conference committee, the Student Paper Conference Chair(s) from each region may nominate one student (per conference) for a summer undergraduate internship at a NASA research center.   Student nominations must be from students who attended and participated in the regional conference as presenters or conference organizers.  Regions are encouraged to make the selection at the regional conference so that the selection may be announced at the conference awards ceremony.  Specific criteria for the selection is left to the Student Paper Conference Chair in coordination with the Chief Judge for the conference.  Along with the name of the student nominee, the Student Paper Conference Chair MUST include the student’s resume, the student’s paper, and a short statement of why the student was selected as that Student Paper Conference’s nominee.  NASA will use internal methods to select one student intern from the submitted resumes and work directly with the student to work out details of the internship.  NASA will also forward the name to the Chairman of the Student Conference Sub-Committee so that regions can be notified of the final selection.
