It is time once again for GW Engineering's long-time tradition -- the annual Research and Development (R&D) and Senior Design Showcase! Participating in the R&D and Senior Design showcase can be a beneficial experience for GW Engineering students and provides a chance to develop their skills in presenting their research. All undergraduate, master, PhD students, postdoctoral scholars, and research scientists are welcome to submit abstracts to the showcase. Students and researchers from other schools and departments are also welcome.

Poster Guidelines

Your poster will measure 36” x 48” (landscape) and will be clipped to a tri-fold foam board (clips and foam boards will be provided on Showcase day). The Dean’s Office will not be responsible for the cost of printing your poster. However, you may ask your department or your project mentor if they are willing to cover the cost of printing. Please be sure to use the new GW and GW Engineering branding (ZIP) on your poster. Watch this NIH presentation (PDF) for tips on how to make an interesting research poster. Here is a Sample Poster (PDF) from a previous winner.
