Engineering students and recent graduates have until April 25 to submit an abstract and enter the competition.The competition is open to undergraduate students, baccalaureate engineers who graduated after April 2015, and graduate students who began their studies after April 2015. As many as five selected finalists will be invited to present their papers at a special session to be held at the IMECE 2016, where final judging and selection will take place. The author of the paper chosen as the first-prize winner at IMECE will be awarded $500, while the authors of the second- and third-plac e papers will receive $300 and $200, respectively. Honorable mention awards of $100 will be presented to the remaining finalists.Authors should submit an abstract of 500 words or fewer describing their research papers, which should focus on a fluids engineering topic and may be the result of a project completed either at a university or in industry. Based on the abstract, contestants will be invited to submit full-length papers, which will be formally reviewed by the FED Young Engineer Paper Contest Committee, according to criteria including technical merit, paper quality, and adherence to YEP Contest entry requirements. Based on the recommendations of the reviewing committee, selected finalists will have an opportunity to revise their papers prior to final submission. The revised final papers, incorporating reviewers comments and recommendations, will be published in the conference proceedings after they have been presented at IMECE.
