ICE East of England Graduate and Student Papers Competition 2014
The Graduate and Student Papers Competition is held every year to promote and reward excellence in the communication of civil engineering issues and ideas.
We invite our graduate and student members to submit papers on any topic related to civil engineering. Entries should preferably, but not necessarily, be based on the applicant’s own work and can be adapted from undergraduate research papers, university projects, professional development or professional review reports.
The competition is open to all Graduate and Student Members of ICE who live, work or Study in the East of England (Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire including Peterborough, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk).
Look out for the invitation to submit your synopsis late in 2013.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the winners and the overall regional winner will be considered for a place in the national final which will take place in London later in the year (date tbc).
Previous winning titles include:
- Commissioning a 41 km Large Diameter Potable Water Pipeline
- Shaking Up Dance Floor Design with Timber Concrete Composites
- Characterisation and Fluidisation of Synthetic Pit Latrine Sludge
The Graduate and Student Papers Competition is a chance to showcase your talent for communicating civil engineering ideas and research. It is also an excellent opportunity to improve your written and verbal skills in readiness for your professional review and you could end up winning a cash prize.
This is a key opportunity for all Graduate and Student members at the start of their careers who wish to improve their written, presentation and debating skills. It’s also an opportunity to see how your own ideas and innovations compete with those from your peers.
