SAIC Student Paper Contest
Deadline: 5 p.m., Friday, February 20, 2004 6 $1000 awards Total
The Executive Science and Technology Council of Science Applications
International Corporation (SAIC), in conjunction with the local SAIC
offices, has instituted this annual student paper contest to recognize
technical excellence at Georgia Tech and to foster the development of closer
ties between the company and the university.
SAIC will make six awards for outstanding technical papers in the fields of
engineering, physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, computer sciences, and
science and technology policy. Awards will be made to students at the
undergraduate level, the master's level, and the Ph.D. level. Papers may be
prepared in support of university courses, professional society
competitions, or technical publications. SAIC reserves the right to keep a
copy of each submitted paper for its records. Papers co-authored with
faculty members or with other non-student authors must be accompanied by a
letter indicating the relative contributions of the non-student author (e.g.
student-x%, faculty-y%).
The awards program will comprise:
an awards banquet to honor each successful student and their guest, and the
faculty sponsor and their guest,
a check for $1000 for each successful student or student team (team members
will share equally the single award),
a framed certificate for each successful student or student team member and
for the faculty sponsor.
