Individual students and student groups are invited to submit original videos no longer than seven minutes that demonstrate creativity and articulate a vision of the future of chemical engineering. Prizes will be awarded for top videos and contest finalists will have their videos showcased at a special premiere at the Centennial Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA, this November.
"As we celebrate 100 years, we want to do more than reflect on our accomplishment, we also want to look to the future of our profession," said Dale Keairns, president of AIChE. "Chemical engineers are creative problem solvers, and this video contest offers students a chance to demonstrate those skills as they envision the promise of the future."
The entire contest is being conducted online, with video entries submitted via YouTube and Facebook. Deadline for submissions is October 3, 2008. For more information about the contest, including entry rules, award categories, prizes, and more, please visit one of the links at the bottom.
