The Institute of Industrial Engineers student chapter at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo is proudly hosting the 2008 IIE University Regional Conference for the Western Region. Each year industrial engineering students and faculty meet to participate in the technical paper contest, to take part in social networking events, a job fair, and to exchange academic and professional knowledge at this weekend event.
The conference is scheduled to kick off Thursday evening March 6 at our world-famous Thursday Night Farmer’s Market and official events are scheduled for Friday March 7 through Sunday March 9 under the theme “Fronteering in Industrial Engineering”. The purpose of this theme is to encourage students to explore new and exciting fields that are currently in developmental activity in Industrial Engineering. Guest speakers and workshops will focus on topics such as sustainability, future energy, disaster recovery, community service projects, and ID and verification technology.
The following are several important issues and dates that we would like to bring to your attention:
Registration:
The registration packets for the conference will be sent out November 15 and will include hotel information and promotional flyers. There will be an early registration fee of $30 per student and a standard registration fee of $35 per student. In order to qualify for early registration all forms and fees should be received by December 15.
Technical Paper Competition:
Each chapter can submit up to two papers, and we hope that each chapter will submit at least one. All submissions should be submitted in triplicate and relieved by February 1, 2008. In order to meet this deadline we strongly suggest that each chapter make arrangements to hold their local chapter paper competitions in early January. The guidelines for the competition and the submission forms will also be included in the registration packet.
If you have any questions regarding the conference or any of the events listed above, please contact:

The National Schedule says that the deadline for the submission for the paper competition is Jan. 15. But this blog entry says the deadline is Fan. 1.
I just want to get a clarification on this so I can properly plan for our local paper competition.
Thank you
