MAE Student Lecture Series (SLS)

The Parker Hannifin – MAE Department Student Lecture Series is a forum for Graduate (Phd, MS, BS/MS) and Undergraduate Honours students to present their work in a learning environment to a general audience. The Student Lecture Series seeks to:

  • Provide a great platform for students to practice presenting their work. Especially students who are about to give a conference talk, candidacy exam, final graduate or undergraduate thesis defense.
  • Promote visibility of research to students (undergraduate and graduate) and all other interested persons.
  • Facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas amongst students and faculty of all MAE research fields and levels.
  • Encourage a low-stress environment in which faculty and students of all levels an interact and learn from each other.

The format for the seminars is two 20 minute presentations with 10 minutes of questions to simulate a conference talk, or one 45 minute presentation with 15 minutes of questions, which could be used as practice for a dissertation defense or as interview preparation. The scope of the talks is at the discretion of the presenter, but presenters please be aware the audience will be far more general than what is encountered at a technical conference. The talks will be open to all students (undergraduate and graduate) and faculty.
