| Why a Student Conference? |
|
Why participate in an AIAA student conference? Here are a few reasons: prize money, networking opportunities, feedback from professionals/other academics on your work, experience presenting in a conference setting, meeting other students in your region, and exciting tours and guest speakers!
|
|
Your paper should be prepared according to AIAA Author Kit Guidelines. Please note that the paper can be no longer than 11 pages single column because this is a student competition.

New for 2008 Student Conferences
Based on the recommendations of each region’s student conference
committee, the Student Paper Conference Chair(s) from each region may
nominate one student (per conference) for a summer undergraduate
internship at a NASA research center. Student nominations must be
from students who attended and participated in the regional conference
as presenters or conference organizers. Regions are encouraged to make
the selection at the regional conference so that the selection may be
announced at the conference awards ceremony. Specific criteria for the
selection is left to the Student Paper Conference Chair in coordination
with the Chief Judge for the conference. Along with the name of the
student nominee, the Student Paper Conference Chair MUST include the student’s resume, the student’s paper, and a short
statement of why the student was selected as that Student Paper
Conference’s nominee. NASA will use internal methods to select one
student intern from the submitted resumes and work directly with the
student to work out details of the internship. NASA will also forward
the name to the Chairman of the Student Conference Sub-Committee so
that regions can be notified of the final selection.
