The IEEE Region 10 conducts two student paper contests (SPC's) every year, one for the Postgraduate (PG) and the other for the Undergraduate (UG) IEEE Student Members in the Region. Papers submitted to this Contest should not have been presented elsewhere if not it will automatically be disqualified.
 

Postgraduate Section (PG)

Open to those IEEE Student Members with basic degrees in electrical engineering, electronics, computer science or any other field of interest of an IEEE Society, who are studying for a postgraduate course. Eligibility to enter the contest must be supported by a letter from the Student Branch Counselor and submitting the paper through the Student Activities Chair of the Section or the Section Chair, copy to R10 SAC.

Undergraduate Section (UG)

Open to IEEE Student Members undergoing an undergraduate course in electrical engineering, electronics, computer science or allied subjects. Eligibility to enter the contest must be supported by a letter from the Student Branch Counselor and submitting the paper through the Student Activities Chair of the Section or the Section Chair, copy to R10 SAC.

CONTEST RULES

1. ELIGIBILITY

Open only to IEEE Student Members in the Region. The papers may be on any engineering subject in the field of interest of IEEE (within the scope of IEEE transactions).

Number of authors for one paper is limited to 3. All the authors must be students and the first author must be a student member of the IEEE. Supervisors are not allowed to participate in the contest.

Papers submitted to this Contest should not have been published in any other publications yet. If already published, then your paper will be disqualified.

2. SUBMISSIONS
Papers should be submitted electronically to your Section Chair (or the Student Activities Committee Chair) before the date determined by the Section and copy electronically to the Region 10 SAC. Each Section is allowed to submit only 3 papers. Deadline at Region 10 is 15^th March 2006. The attached form must be duly completed and signed by the first author and the Student Branch Counselor. If there are more than 3 papers from the Section, the papers should be screened first at the Section level and the best three papers from the Section should be sent to Region 10 SAC Chair by 15^th March 2006. Papers should be submitted to the IEEE Section Chair at least 2 weeks before this closing date in order not to avoid delay in submission (or a suitable date as announced by your own Section).
