The 2016 ME Graduate Poster competition was held during the week of Oct. 17 – 21. The posters were grouped in three categories: (1) Working on research less than 3 semesters; (2) Working on research more than 3 semesters but less than 6 semesters; and (3) Working on research more than 6 semesters. They were displayed in the Fluor Daniel atrium throughout the week, and were judged by a panel of ME3000H students, UMBC students, ME faculty, external department chairs and graduate students. The panel selected two finalist from each category, who will then give a presentation to our External Advisory Board during the Spring 2017 semester. The board will select a winner from each category.
