Session Description

This special session gives authors of Work-in-Progress (WIP) papers the opportunity to pitch their work with a two-slide (back and front of a post card) overview of their work in five minutes or less. After the pitch is made, attendees will have opportunity to visit with the authors and their posters.

For those interested in: Academia-Industry Connections, Broadening Participation in Engineering and Engineering Technology, K-12, and New Members
