Student Presentation Competition Sponsored by the United States Association for Computational Mechanics Introduction The specialty committees of the United States Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) are sponsoring a Student Presentation Competition during the International Association of Computational Mechanics (IACM) 7th World Congress, to be held July 16-22, 2006 in Los Angeles, California. Briefly, the competition consists of presentations of original student work, in the six specialty committee areas, during the World Congress, with judging of the presentations by members of the specialty committees, and awards by USACM to selected contributions. Specialty Areas USACM has established specialty committees in the following areas of computational mechanics:
The purpose of these specialty committees is to provide a focus on these areas of computational mechanics through organization of specialty minisymposia during USACM & IACM Congresses, and other activities the committees develop in their areas. Judging and Awards All entries will be judged by members of the appropriate USACM specialty committee. Designated committee members will attend sessions at the World Congress to observe selected student presentations. The committee members will evaluate the presentations and recommend to USACM a prioritized list of recipients for awards. USACM will select and announce the awards at an appropriate time during or immediately after the Congress. The awards will consist of cash prizes and/or a certificate of achievement. Entry and Eligibility Students interested in participating in the USACM Student Presentation Competition should submit an abstract to the World Congress via the normal submission procedures, established by the Congress organizers. Upon notice of abstract acceptance, the student must notify the USACM Student Presentation Competition coordinator (see below) of the abstract’s title, session or minisymposium, and designate which specialty committee is most appropriate for judging the student’s presentation. Eligible participants must be registered for the Congress as a student, and must make the presentation at the Congress. Deadline for notifying the Student Presentation Competition coordinators is June 16, 2006.
