Application tips
A graduate student panel in the Chemical Engineering and Molecular Engineering and Sciences departments at UW selects the speakers using criteria adapted from the National Science Foundation’s Review Criteria. Here are some tips:
- Ensure your abstract is understandable and interesting to engineers not directly in your field.
- Figures or images in the abstract are welcome.
- Presentations or other activities that indicate speaking prowess are more important than low (< 2nd) author papers.
- Personalized and specific letters of recommendation are ideal.
- Please read the DYSS Review Criteria for more information.
