Student Program
The NAPS 2008 organizing committee and the PES Power Engineering Education Committee, with the support of the Grainger Foundation, are happy to announce that there will be an exciting student program at the 2008 NAPS.
Student Housing Support
At the 2008 NAPS, we will offer free hotel accommodation to as many students as possible (based on support from the PES Power Engineering Education Committee and the Grainger Foundation). To be eligible for this support, you must apply for the student housing support when registering for the conference. In the unexpected case that the number of applicants exceeds the number of students we are able to accommodate, there will be prioritization based on (a) whether student is submitting a paper in the student paper contest or has an accepted technical paper; (b) status, i.e., undergrad/grad --- undergraduates receive higher priority; (c) early application; (d) merit of application; (e) support provided by student's advisor; (f) Previous participation in PEEC sponsored programs; (g) Number of accepted applicants from any given university. Women, minorities and undergraduates are especially encouraged to apply.
Students awarded housing support will be assigned hotel rooms with one or two other students of the same gender.
In order to be selected for free accommodation you must be an author or co-author of an accepted paper at NAPS 2008.
We plan to notify students of acceptance into this program on August 7 2008.
Student Paper Contest
NAPS-2008 will hold a Student Paper Contest. All papers where the first author is a student qualify for the contest. A faculty (e.g. the student advisor) can be one of the authors but not the first author of the paper. Both graduate and undergraduate students may participate. To win, the paper must be presented by the student.
As part of registering for the NAPS'08, you are asked if you are a student and a first author of a paper (hence registered into the student paper contest).
