New Mexico Tech students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels have the privilege of voluntarily submitting either:

An Extended Abstract and an Oral Presentation
OR
An Extended Abstract and a Poster Presentation (this will be limited to 40 posters)

Of research or design projects.

The audience is made up of a wide variety of esteemed professionals. The professionals come from a variety of different technical backgrounds. It is our honor to host professionals from New Mexico Tech and from many other successful backgrounds. Because of this, we kindly request that your abstract and presentation be written in a way that would appeal to everyone in the audience.

Your extended abstract, which is a summary or statement of your research, as well as your poster with any visuals and your spoken, oral presentation, will need the follow New Mexico Tech's Student Research Symposium criteria. These criteria have been prepared for your review and can be found at the following links:

The Student Research Symposium is an opportunity for you to:

The symposium will be on Friday, April 5, 2013.

We hope you will show us the honor by being a part of the SRS. Presentations will only be made by our respected New Mexico Tech students. However, attending the symposium is open to anyone. Your friends and family are very welcome to attend the symposium. We hope that you will invite them to share in the valuable experience awarded by the student researchers working at New Mexico Tech.

Now is the time to talk with your Faculty Research Advisor about the projects on which you would like to present and submit a extended abstract.

The Writing Center and the Oral Presentation Center can help you prepare for the Student Research Symposium. Click the links to find their regular hours. Workshops may be available to assist students in preparing research. It is recommended that interested students check the SRS website often for helpful information.
