Hi
This Navneet Dabra, Lect. (Physics) and Dean Students Welfare and I am tring to form a students chapter in my college.
This is an excellent effort made by materials advantage that will not only enrourage the students for research activities, but also give the students a platform to intract with materials community globally.
Please provide me the information how the students (undergarudate) of our collge can partciapte in the MS&T’10.
Please consider adding a section to this website indicating each society’s representative, or making the section much easier to find. The centralization of that information is very useful for incoming student chapter Chairs, and also students in general. Kind of a “Meet your Reps” or “Contact” section to make this a more personable website.
1. There are many activities that undergraduate students can participate in at MS&T. Most are contests. The link to the contests that undergraduate students can participate in is http://materialadvantage.org/financial-opportunities/contests/. The contests are:
a. Undergraduate student speaking contest - It is the 2nd article on the web page above.
b. Undergraduate student poster contest – It is the 3rd article on the web page above.
c. Mug drop contest – It is the 5th article on the web page above.
d. Putting contest – It is the 6th article above.
2. Regarding financial assistance, Material Advantage gives $500 travel grants to student chapters to attend MS&T. Here is a link to other travel grant opportunities: http://materialadvantage.org/financial-opportunities/travel-grants/.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks.
