Communicate to Educate is the focus of this year's NMT Student Research Symposium
(SRS), an annual event where NMT students present their research to NMT, Socorro,
and the larger STEM community. Students at all levels, from freshman to graduate,
have the opportunity to participate in research; the SRS provides a forum to share
the exciting projects they've been working on!
During the event, students are able to:
Showcase their knowledge and skills by giving a presentation or displaying a poster
to peers, professional researchers, and engineers.
Communicate their research or design to people outside of their field.
See what their peers are doing and get ideas for future research projects.

Each oral presenter will receive two personal tickets for the dinner (one for themselves
and one for a guest) and their advisor will also receive a ticket.
The SRS abstract should briefly state the problem or purpose of the research, explain
the supported hypothesis, indicate the theoretical or experimental plan used, summarize
the principle finding, point out the major conclusions, and if applicable how it fits

abstract should be understandable to those outside of the designated field.
