Student
Program
Students, you are cordially invited to attend the 38th International
Symposium on Microelectronics. We’ve got exciting activities
lined-up from September 25-29, 2005, and you will enjoy the history,
culture and hospitality of Philadelphia.
Reduced Symposium Registration
Students’ cost to attend the Full Technical Symposium is $10 for
IMAPS student members and $15 for non-members (on or before
July 29, 2005): $20.00 for members and $25.00 for non-members after July 29th.
Student Plant Tour
Plant Tour(s) will be organized and detailed information about
the tour will be on the symposium website shortly and
printed in the final program.
Student Chapter Booth Competition
Each student chapter is encouraged to enter a booth and exhibit
on the main floor. These booths are free to student chapters
and allow chapters to demonstrate their activities to the microelectronics
industry.
Chapters will be evaluated by a panel of judges on various
criteria. Recognition will be given to the Best Student Chapter Booth
at the
Student/Industry Reception that day. Judging will be
on Tuesday, September 27th, 10:00 am – 11:45 am.
Student Industry Panel/Reception
The Student Industry Panel is your chance to learn career development
insights from top-level industry professionals. The panel
will be conducted on Tuesday afternoon from 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm. Professionals
from the microelectronics industries, industry recruiters, and engineering
educators will describe and discuss how their education, interests
and career experiences led to their current positions. Students will
also learn current industry expectations and what they should be doing
now for their long-term career development. A Reception will immediately
follow where students will have the opportunity to network one-on-one
with industry panelists and each other.
Professional Development Course (PDC) Monitor
Students have the opportunity to serve as PDC Monitors. One
student monitor will be assigned to each of the 16 PDCs during the
Symposium. Course monitors will assist PDC Instructors (distribute
handouts, monitor lights, collect evaluations, etc.). Monitors will
receive all handouts presented during the course. Monitors are assigned
on a first-come, first-served basis. So, sign up early to get the
PDC of your choice by emailing Rayma Gollopp (rgollopp@imaps.org)
with your top 3 choices.
Best Student Paper
A review committee will attend all technical presentations
by student authors to evaluate and determine the Best Student
Paper.
Student papers will be evaluated on technical knowledge, presentation
skills, written manuscript, and audience interaction. The winning
student will receive a certificate and recognition in the magazine Advancing Microelectronics.
Employment Center
The IMAPS Employment Center will be open Tuesday,
September 27th - Thursday, September 29th. Here, students will be able
to speak with different employers about job openings, with
interview rooms provided as needed.
