Research

A platform for graduate and undergraduate students to present and learn about ongoing research projects at MSFEA. In addition to oral and poster presentations, this year’s research module will include a 3-minute-thesis (3MT) session where students will only have 3 minutes to explain their research project with the aid of a single slide.

Are you ready to tell the world about your cutting edge research? Submit an abstract to the Research Module for an opportunity to win prizes for best graduate/undergraduate oral, poster, and 3MT presentations.

You can submit your abstracts here. 

The submission deadline for the Research Module is March 31, 2019.

  • Create an EasyChair account and use it to login.
  • Select the “IDEAS 2019 Research Module” track.
  • Fill out the author form.
  • Provide a title and an abstract for your work. Abstract must not exceed 300 words.

    Scientific research abstracts must include the following components:  Introduction/project rationale, Aims and/or Hypotheses, Methods, Results, Conclusions.

    Architecture and Design Department abstracts should include: Research/project idea, problematics, thesis statement, theoretical approach/design output.

  • Enter up to three keywords describing your work.
  • Under Topic, select your preferred delivery format: oral presentation, poster presentation, or 3MT.

    For oral presentations, students will be required to deliver a PowerPoint presentation of their research. Their talk cannot exceed 12 minutes + 3 minutes for Q&A.

    For poster presentations, students will present their research using the aid of a poster.

    For 3MT presentations, students will have strictly 3 minutes to talk about their research using only a single PowerPoint slide (animations, physical demos, props, for example, are not permitted). Given the short time, students will need to be extra effective at communicating their project to a non-specialized audience (avoiding jargon/technical language and keeping their talks to the point).

    See examples here.
  • If you have chosen to present your work as an oral presentation, you will also have a chance to publish a two-page paper in an online proceeding. Instructions on preparing your paper will be communicated at a later date. For now, you can leave the Files section empty.
