Poster Presentation Guidelines

Students who are presenting posters at the Symposium may begin setting up at 8:00am; posters should be on display from 9:00am until 2:15pm. If you are not able to stay for the entire Symposium, please make arrangements for a colleague to put up your poster by 9am and/or to take it down at 2:15pm.

Students should wear business / professional attire, and are expected to stand next to their poster during their assigned session in order to answer questions from judges and visitors.

• BAE, CHEMS and ECE students should be at their posters from 10:45am-12:00pm
• CEE, CSE and ME students should be at their posters from 1:00pm-2:15pm

Posters should be 32" x 40" (81 cm x 102 cm) in size, and may be orientated either vertically or horizontally. Students may choose their own layout and content design, within the specified size constraints. The Division of Engineering Computing Services (DECS) provides poster printing and lamination services for students. More information, including fees and formatting requirements, is available at: http://www.egr.msu.edu/decs/labs/printing/large-printers

At the Symposium, students will be provided with an easel and one piece of 32" x 40" (81 cm x 102 cm) size black foam-core board. Binder clips will also be provided, and students will use the clips to attach their posters to the foam board.
