The poster session runs for two hours (with breakfastprovided by the instructor) and with formal presenter/evaluator schedules and evaluationsheets. From observation and instructor’s experience, this formality allows the students tolook for the vocabulary unique to materials science and for technical references cited ineach other’s work.
