3MT CHBE and MECH heat!

Have you heard of 3MT?

Three Minute Thesis is a research communication competition. CHBE is participating in the CHBE and MECH Multi-Departmental Heat prior to the G+PS competition in March.

Have you ever thought about preparing yourself for job interviews? Have you ever felt stuck trying to give an elevator pitch about your thesis? 3MT is one way of preparing talking points about your graduate work so that you will have it in your back pocket when you need it – perhaps more often than you think.

Come and join the challenge and fun!

For CHBE-MECH Heat, all graduate students from engineering departments, which do not have a home heat event, are welcome to join! If you do not know how 3MT works, no worries! We have a 3MT strategy session to clarify the workings of 3MT.

3MT strategy session for all engineering graduate students:

Date: Monday, February 2, 2015

Time: 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM

Location: CHBE 3.04 (map)

Registration

Deadline: Wednesday, February 18, 2015

Registration method: simply email your name, which department you are from to jslee@chbe.ubc.ca

CHBE-MECH Heat Event Details:

Date: Tuesday, February 24, 2015

Time: 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM
