ICE East of England Graduate and Student Papers Competition 2013
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 further details and the invitation to submit a synopsis late in 2012.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the winners. (please note that there are currently no plans for a 2013 National Final and this will be a regional competition only)
Previous winning titles include:
- Jack Piling in Sand and Silt
- International Engineering Contribution to Slum Upgrading Projects in the Developing World
- Commissioning a 41 km Large Diameter Potable Water Pipeline
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 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.
