Tips for Preparing Abstracts

Abstracts are reviewed for acceptance in the program using the following criteria: originality; status of the underlying work; technical content; benefits & significance to the audience; quality of the abstract; and experience of authors.

Although not a prerequisite for abstract acceptance, eligibility for PDH approval is valuable to conference attendees. To maximize eligibility for PDH credit, the abstract submittal should contain:

The author's bio with enough information to establish expertise in the presentation topic. Typically, this includes a few sentences on related work, number of years practicing in the field, education and licensure, if any.
An abstract that provides detail on the technical content which contributes to the professional practice of engineering and/or highlights application of engineering principles. This can include purely technical topics and aspects of engineering project management as well. Eligible topics include law and/or ethics and the health, safety, and/or welfare of the public. Topics such as business or operations management are not PDH-eligible.
A statement of the learning objectives and what technical information will be presented (ex: engineering calculations, data useful for design). There is a section at the end of the abstract form for this information.
