Poster Session

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, or 

(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 Inventions and Innovations

"Artificial Intelligence: Transforming Technology and Engineering Education"
Focus: Examine the innovations behind artificial intelligence and its expanding role in technology and engineering education. Consider how AI tools, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and intelligent systems, can be incorporated into courses to strengthen student learning and development of the Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy (STEL).

Key Points: Explore the engineering and computational principles behind AI, as well as the social, ethical, and educational impacts of widespread AI integration.
