Design Exhibition

Abstract:
At the Student Design Exhibition, participants of the Student Design Competition will have the opportunity to show off their work to an audience of audio students, educators, and professionals. Anyone attending the Convention is invited to come along.

Apart from being an educational event the Student Design Exhibition also is an invaluable career-building event and a great place for companies to identify prospective employees.

The judges of the Student Design Competition will also roam the Exhibition floors and get in touch with the exhibiting students to make their final decision on who is going to be awarded for their outstanding projects.

Students with both audio and non-audio backgrounds are encouraged to submit their hardware and software projects. Few restrictions are placed on the nature of the submissions but designs must focus on audio applications. Examples include loudspeaker design, DSP plug-ins, analogue hardware, signal analysis tools, mobile applications, and sound synthesis devices.

Products should represent new, original ideas implemented in working-model prototypes.
