\"speakers_flyer\"<\/a>The Drexel IEEE Graduate Forum (DIG) held it’s\u00a08th\u00a0Annual\u00a0Research\u00a0Symposium\u00a0on\u00a0Friday, February 26th, 2016<\/span>. Each year DIG holds a\u00a0Research\u00a0Day as a venue for students to present their research to their colleagues, while providing a venue for networking and socializing. It was open for all undergraduate and graduate students.<\/p>\n

1st, 2nd and 3rd place poster win cash prizes were amounting to $700.<\/p>\n

DIG had lined up a day’s worth of activities including\u00a0keynote speakers,\u00a0a poster session,\u00a0breakfast,\u00a0lunch, and an\u00a0award ceremony\u00a0for the best poster presentation.\u00a0Posters were evaluated based on originality, presenter’s knowledge, visual presentation and content by faculty members.<\/p>\n

IEEE certificates were awarded for all participants.<\/p>\n

Venue:\u00a0Bossone Atrium, 3rd Floor<\/em><\/p>\n

The following is the list of all the participants and posters presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These posters were categorized in both physical\/chemical\/biological aspects in electrical, electronic, and computer systems (22 PH posters) and Mathematical\/ Numerical Modeling\/Analytical aspects in the electrical, electronic, biomedical, and computer systems (15 MA posters). \u00a023 of the received posters were from Drexel with 13 posters from the ECE Dept., while other departments such as MSE Dept. (4), MEM Dept. (2), CEAE Dept. (1) , CS \u00a0Dept. (3),\u00a0 and Biomedical Engineering and Science \u00a0(1) had active participation. There were 14 posters from outside Drexel from the Rowan University (4), Temple University (4), University of Pennsylvania (3), Villanova University (2), and Rutgers University (1).<\/p>\n

The 15 judges had a very fruitful discussion with the student presenters and after a careful evaluation of the posters in terms of originality, quality of presentation, competence of presenters, the following four posters were RECOGNIZED DURING A RECEPTION:<\/p>\n
