The Graduate Research Colloquium (GRC) was held on Feb 21-22, 2013. GRC was organized by the Graduate Student Government (GSG). Graduate students from all departments at Michigan Tech presented their research and ideas to other students and faculty in the form of oral or poster presentations. A group of judges that consists of faculty (and/or some invited members of industry) evaluated student’s presentations to award prizes to the best 1st, 2nd and 3rd presentations from each session (oral and poster). There are also three honorable mention awards given in both oral and poster presentation sessions.
In addition, at the Awards Banquet that was held on Friday evening February 23, the Graduate School presented several annual awards, including the Exceptional Graduate Student Scholar Award given to Antonio Velazquez Hernandez, Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research presentation was “Structural Health Monitoring and Model Updating of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines using Wireless Sensors Technology”
