  1. SDM 2012 Student Paper Awards Rob Taylor Structures TC Meeting 4/9/2013

  2. Student Awards Process for SDM (Long Range Planning Requirements) • Student papers can be scheduled throughout the entire week of the conference (M - Th). • First round of the contest will be based on the manuscripts. All the student paper manuscripts will be evaluated using predetermined criteria to be provided by Student Paper Chair to a panel of judges representing all the TCs and co-located conferences. • This review of the manuscripts will be the responsibility of the panel of judges and will be coordinated by Student Paper Chair. • Based on the manuscript ratings for all the student manuscripts, the Student Paper Chair will down select the Top 6 manuscripts for the second round of the contest. • The second round of the contest will consist of judging the actual presentations of the students. The Student Paper Chair will provide the judging criteria. • The Student Paper Chair will assemble a panel of judges for the Top 6 paper presentations. • Top 6 student papers will be judged in a special evening (recommended Tuesday, but could be Sunday or Monday, to the discretion of the SDM Organizing Committee) judging session. This session is expected to run for 3.5 – 4 hours.

  3. Student Awards Process for SDM (Long Range Planning Requirements) • The SDM Student Paper Chair is only responsible for selecting the Jefferson Goblet and the American Society for Composite (ASC) student paper award winners. • The 6 finalists based on manuscripts will include at least 2 composite material or composite structures related papers. • The highest ranked paper based on manuscript and presentation will receive the Jefferson Goblet Award. • The highest ranked composite related paper will receive the ASC student paper award. If the Jefferson Goblet award is given to a composite related paper, the second ranked composite related paper will receive the ASC award. • The names of the Jefferson Goblet and ASC awardees will be shared with the Structures TC. The Structures TC will be responsible for selecting the Lockheed Martin and Hilton award winners. The winners of the Jefferson Goblet and ASC awards will be excluded from receiving the Structures TC sponsored student paper awards.

  8. Observations and Recommendations • Decouple Structures awards from conference-wide awards after manuscript review and scoring • No requirement for Tuesday evening session for Structures papers • Schedule Structures student papers during Monday and Tuesday sessions • Send reviewers to presentations in regular sessions • Personal Opinion: Tuesday evening judging session is very difficult to manage, conflicts with all TC meetings, and is unfair to students • Need more than 6 finalists to be fair • LRP should revise process • Subcommittee organization is very helpful • Other TC’s not prepared for student paper reviews
