IEEE-USA is launching the organization’s third online engineering video competition for undergraduate students on “How Engineers Make a World of Difference.” IEEE-USA will present four scholarship awards totaling $5,000 to undergraduates who create the most effective 90-second video clips reinforcing for an 11-to-13-year-old audience how engineers improve the world.
Entries in the 2009-10 competition should provide an individual profile of an engineer and how s/he makes “a world of difference.” Entries will be judged on their effectiveness in reaching the target audience by portraying engineers as “real people” who seek to make life better, as well on their originality, creativity and entertainment value. Show today’s youngsters how “engineers turn ideas into reality.”
The competition is open to all U.S. undergraduate students regardless of academic discipline. However, at least one undergraduate participant must be an IEEE Student Member.
Entries must be submitted through YouTube by midnight Eastern Time on Friday, 15 January 2010.
First prize is $2,000
Second prize $1,500
Third prize, $1,000
The first-place winner will also receive up to $1,000 to cover travel expenses to accept his/her award at the IEEE-USA Annual Meeting in Nashville on 6 March 2010. In addition, a special award for $500 will be given for the most innovative and effective presentation of a video entry to a target “tweener” audience. This could involve presenting the video entered in the competition at a university engineering expo for K-12 students, in a middle school classroom, with a scout group, or in another setting with 11-to-13 year-olds.
