Helpful Tips

Research and creative inquiry projects typically include the following elements. However, please

feel free to submit all projects.

Posters

will be evaluated based on content and effective communication.

Content

 Post a brief abstract (no more than 300 words) in the upper left hand corner

 Select only the most pertinent data to include on the poster

 For Research Posters: Include title, author(s), faculty mentor(s), an introduction, a

description of the methods used, findings/results, and discussion/conclusions. References

and acknowledgements may also be included if there is space.

 For Creative Inquiry Posters: Include title, designer(s), faculty mentor(s), purpose statement,

a description of the design process (e.g., background research, methods/techniques/materials,

outcomes/results), summary/discussion of how you achieved the purpose and

recommendations for future designs. References and acknowledgements may also be

included if there is space.

 The poster is a visual format. Use graphic elements often.

 Creative inquiry posters should include images to clearly show the design, which may include

3D design front, back, and detail views.

 Do not use hand drawings. Prepare them in advance of arriving.

Displays

will be evaluated based on the design work (aesthetics and visual impact) and the quality

of the written content.

Written Content

 Include title, designer(s), faculty mentor(s), purpose statement, a description of the design

process (e.g., background research, methods/techniques/materials, outcomes/results),

summary/discussion of how you achieved the purpose and recommendations for future

designs. References and acknowledgements may also be included if there is space.

 Information should be printed on one 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper, using 12 pt font or larger, and

mounted on a mat board or foam core. Students are responsible for printing and mounting.

Please note the following:

 If you are presenting a poster, we will provide a way for you to display it.

 If you are presenting a display, we will provide a small easel and table, if needed. Students

needing any other type of display mount (e.g., dress form, special stand) must work with

faculty to reserve those items.

 Students are responsible for printing their own posters.

 Students are responsible for setting up, taking down, and, if applicable, returning any

borrowed items.

 Students MUST attend the entire event.
