    Dear Colleagues,
     
    This is a final reminder about the 2025 IISE QCRE Student Interaction and Poster Competition session. This is a great opportunity for students to network with peers and faculty members. We highly recommend our student members to participate and faculty members to encourage their students to participate. We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta!

    Call for Participation: QCRE Student Interaction and Poster Competition

    2025 IISE Annual Conference & Expo

    May 30 – June 3, 2025, Atlanta, Georgia

    Quality Control and Reliability Engineering Track

    The Student Poster Competition is under the sponsorship of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Mississippi State University

    The Quality Control & Reliability Engineering (QCRE) Track of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) is inviting QCRE student members to participate in the Student Interaction and Poster Competition Session at the IISE Annual Conference 2025.

    In the Student Interaction session, students will have opportunities to interact with peers and panelists from academia and industry.

    In the Student Poster Competition session, students will be given the opportunity to display their research posters. A winner will be selected by a panel of judges. The main judging criteria are based on three aspects 1) Appearance and structure (poster visually attractive, easy to read, flow logically), 2) Content (technical contribution is clear, objective is well developed, problem is well motivated), and 3) Discussion (the poster provokes quality discussion, poster author shows a good understanding of the content, the presenter professionally responses to questions). The winner of the Student Poster Competition will be awarded a certificate and a monetary prize of $200.

    Note the Student Interaction and Student Poster Competition are two separate sessions and need to be registered separately using the links below:
