Below are some of the student competitions sponsored by PELS:
ECCE Student Project Demonstrations
The IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Expo (ECCE) organizes a hardware demonstration event for students to showcase their research outcomes and interact with academia and industry. Topics of interest for this event are selected each year.
Project teams selected for participation will be notified and all team members must register for ECCE to participate. Travel grants will be allocated for each participating project team.
For the demonstration, each team will be provided a space in the exhibition hall and evaluated by a judging panel comprising of members from academia and industry. The panel members will select the top three project demonstrations based on originality and creativity, engineering design, value to practical applications, presentation, and audience appeal. The top three teams will receive the following:
- First Place: Certificate, USD 700
