Entries Due April 3 for the Young Engineers Paper Contest at the 2015 IMECE Entries Due April 3 for the Young Engineers Paper Contest at the 2015 IMECE Entries Due April 3 for the Young Engineers Paper Contest at the 2015 IMECE Engineering students and recent grads have until April 3 to submit an abstract and enter the ASME Fluids Engineering Division-sponsored Young Engineer Paper (YEP) Contest. As many as five selected finalists will be invited to present their papers at a special session to be held at the ASME 2015 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) from Nov. 13 to 19 in Houston, Texas, where final judging and selection will take place. The competition is open to undergraduate students, baccalaureate engineers who graduated after April 2014, and graduate students who began their studies after April 2014. The author of the paper selected as the first-prize winner at the IMECE will be awarded $500, while the authors of the second- and third-place papers will receive $300 and $200, respectively. Authors should submit an abstract of 500 words or fewer describing their research papers, which should focus on a fluids engineering topic and may be the result of a project completed either at a university or in industry. Based on the abstract, contestants will be invited to submit full-length papers, which will be formally reviewed by the FED Young Engineer Paper Contest Committee, according to criteria including technical merit, paper quality, and adherence to YEP Contest entry requirements. Based on the recommendations of the reviewing committee, selected finalists will have an opportunity to revise their papers prior to final submission. The revised final papers, incorporating reviewers' comments and recommendations, will be published in the conference proceedings after they have been presented at the IMECE. To enter the contest, authors should submit their abstracts by April 3 to Dr. B. Terry Beck, 3002 Rathbone Hall, Department of Mechanical Nuclear Engineering, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506-5205; telephone (785) 532-2604; fax (785) 532-7057; e-mail tbeck@ksu.edu.
