Overview IEEE Women in Engineering - Jordan Section (IEEE WIE JS), in collaboration with IEEE Women in Engineering - Mutah University (IEEE WIE MU), plans to organize the Best Poster Competition, a student competition targeting undergraduate students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines from universities across Jordan. The competition aims to encourage students to present their scientific projects and technical ideas in an innovative and professional manner. It also seeks to develop their skills in scientific poster design, communication, and public presentation, while providing opportunities to discuss their projects and receive feedback from academics and professionals. Target Audience and Participation The competition is open to undergraduate students enrolled in STEM-related disciplines at Jordanian universities. Participation may be individual or in teams of one to three students, with at least one team member required to hold active membership in IEEE Women in Engineering (IEEE WIE). Approximately 60 students are expected to participate, with total attendance estimated at around 100 people, including participants, judges, faculty members, organizers, and guests. Competition Format The competition will include an official announcement and registration period, an online introductory session, and two online training workshops covering scientific poster design and presentation skills. Participants will then be given time to prepare and refine their posters, followed by a preliminary evaluation to select the finalists. The final round is planned to take place in person at Mutah University, in coordination with the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center. Participants will present their posters to a specialized judging panel, followed by the announcement of results and recognition of the winners.
