Poster Session

Description

The TEECA “Poster Session Contest” requires students to complete research on a topic of technological significance selected annually by TEECA and then to present the research in the form of an educational display called a Poster Session. 

Topics will be selected from broad categories such as: 

1. Technologists: Raymond Loewy (Father of Industrial Design), Leonardo da Vinci, Henry Dreyfuss

2. Inventions/Innovations: steam engine, telephone, elevator, electric generation and distribution integrated computer chip

3. Technological Principles: structures, mechanisms, human factors, systems

4. Social or Environmental Impacts: public water systems, Luddites, recycling, Industrial Revolution. 

The intended audience for the Poster Session display will also be announced in advance. 

Student contestants must attend a regional or national meeting, set up their Poster Session, and make a five (5) minute presentation. The Poster Session may be designed by an individual or a two or three-person team. The contest is intended to encourage high-quality research and display presentations and as such should be part of a design class or supported by the institution/program as an extracurricular activity. It is anticipated that the material developed in this contest will benefit the student in student teaching or as a beginning professional. 

This year’s topic (from Category 4) is Social Impacts. 

"Drone Technology: Expanding Applications from Agriculture to Search and Rescue"

Focus: Examine the inventions/innovations behind drone technology and its expanding use in fields such as precision agriculture, disaster relief, and logistics.

Key Points: Explore the engineering principles behind drone flight, sensors, and AI, as well as the environmental and societal impacts of widespread drone usage.
