Winners of APSC Grad Research Showcase

On March 3rd, 2015, as a recognition to the winners, top department presenters for the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) gathered at Kaiser
2020/2030 for the faculty of ASPC Grad Research Showcase – Peek into the World of Grad Research. The event showcased the winners’ presentations.
All Engineering graduate students, faculty and staff were invited to encourage and celebrate the students as they prepare for the next stage in the competition – the UBC semi-final on March 10th.

To simulate the actual 3MT competition, three commmunication experts:
Lou Corpuz-bosshart , Media Relations Specialist (UBC Public Affairs), Margaret Doyle, Digital Storyteller (UBC Brand/Marketing), Julie Ovenell, Director, Communications & Marketing (UBC VPRI) were invited to judge and to provide comments.

Jeanette Leeuwner from Chemical & Biological Engineering won the first prize with her presentation, entitled “Engineering fuel cells for the future”. The runners up are Tim Rogers and Samantha Grist from Electrical and Computer Engineering as well as Amir Shoolestani from Civil Engineering.

The next step is the UBC wide semi-finals on Mar 10!
Hope you can join us in supporting Jeanette this Tuesday.

3MT is an UBC competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills by presenting in just three minutes the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience.
