Often project documentation and presentation are limitedto local venues and communication modes are limited to written reports and oral presentations.Opportunities to present technical work at conferences can provide additional experience inprofessional communication (especially in preparing abstracts and in visual design), can preparestudents for future conference participation, and can enrich the conference program for allparticipants. A section conference provides good first experiences beyond local venues andsignificant opportunities for student interaction with professional educators. Several issues existwhen including student poster sessions in engineering education conferences. How can thecontent of posters be related to an engineering education theme? How are communicationprinciples of audience and purpose incorporated into the session guidelines and review process?What approaches facilitate student participation? What roles do faculty advisors have? Theorganization of a student poster component at a section ASEE conference is described includingsubmission guidelines, acceptance criteria, best-poster rubrics, and suggestions for futureimplementation. Lessons learned during two years of hosting such as poster session arehighlighted especially with regard to the abstract and poster evaluation rubrics. The intents ofthe poster sessions are to showcase student work in senior design/capstone projects, competitiondesign projects, student research projects, etc. and to build student communication skills. Posterrequirements included content on specific technical accomplishments and lessons learned toaddress educational and pedagogical aspects of the student work. The work of faculty advisorswas recognized by allowing faculty to be secondary authors. Student communication skills werepromoted by guidelines and rubrics that encourage succinct written summaries and effectivevisual design. The poster sessions facilitated interaction between students and educators andgave greater dissemination of the student work.                 Abstract Evaluation Feedback: Student Poster SubmissionWriting StyleIs the abstract well-written and easy to read and understand? Is the authors’ intent clear? Isthe abstract focused on appropriate objectives?Writing MechanicsAre the grammar, spelling, and formatting appropriate for professional presentation andpublication?Topical Relevance to ConferenceDoes the proposed poster content address work of interest to engineering, engineeringtechnology, or engineering education?GoalsDoes the abstract clearly communicate the goals or need addressed by the project?Technical Accomplishments and Design Lessons LearnedDoes the proposed poster and paper address “Technical accomplishments and design lessonslearned” (as specified in the Call for Student Posters)?MethodologyDoes the approach or methodology seem appropriate? Does the methodology apply relevantengineering & technology practices and principles, where appropriate?Results/Findings/ImplicationsAre the results clearly described? Are the results based on data or other evidences developedthrough the methodology?Overall Reviewer AssessmentAccepts as is                               Accept with minor revision suggestedAccept with revision required               Not accepted               Table.
