<h3><strong>Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Research Expo</strong></h3>
<strong>ACADEMIC POSTER GUIDELINES</strong>

All BME Undergraduate students are invited to present their research experience at the BME Undergraduate Research Expo on April 22, 2011. All posters MUST be approved by the student's faculty mentor before submission for printing. Approval must be transmitted by email to Dr McGoron, Undergraduate Program Director. Posters from research conducted during off-campus internships are also welcome.
<ul>
 	<li>Poster size must be 24” x 36”, oriented horizontally</li>
 	<li>The presentation title should be at least two inches high.  Beneath the title, the name(s) of the student (s), and faculty advisor(s) must be printed.</li>
 	<li>Posters should include the abstract, introduction to the general topic and the reason the work was done, followed by an explanation of the methods, presentation of results and a clear conclusion of the contribution of the work to the discipline it falls under. Make it easy to follow the flow of information on the poster by providing titles on each graph, table or picture.</li>
 	<li>Label each section clearly, in letters large enough to read from 5 to 10 feet away. General text on the poster should be readable from a minimum of 5 feet away as well.</li>
 	<li>Be sure to include necessary bibliographical references and/or acknowledgements of research assistance received during the project.</li>
 	<li>You may use charts, graphs, maps, photographs, illustrations and pictures.</li>
 	<li>Please do not use a solid color background on your poster.</li>
 	<li>For additional tips on creating a poster using PowerPoint refer to the attached pdf.</li>
</ul>
The Engineering Information Center (EIC) will print your poster for the student discounted price of $30-$54 (depending on if you want it laminated and mounted on foam-board). The slide must be submitted in the correct form and on time (allow at least three days because of the volume at the time of the semester). We will not reprint to correct color variation due to file format/printer compatibility or bad resolution in the original file.
<ul>
 	<li>Presenter must be available to discuss his/her display from 3:00-4:00</li>
 	<li><strong>Posters will remain up from 8:30AM to 4:30PM</strong>. Any posters left up after the deadline for removal will be taken down and will be discarded. If you cannot collect your poster please make arrangements to have someone else do so.</li>
 	<li>Posters will be judged for best presentation</li>
</ul>
