Symposium Papers

The Colorado Space Grant Symposium is an opportunity for students to present their current research and ideas in space related fields to their peers, industry and academia.  Four schools from around Colorado submitted papers this year and presented their research during the Symposium on April 18th.  Teams and individuals, freshman through seniors, have researched a variety of topics and presented their research or practical engineering projects.

• Paper - Technical Content, Scientific Merit and Originality (45%)
• Paper - Practical Application (15%)
• Paper - Clarity of Writing (10%)
• Presentation - Visual and Oral presentation and response to questions (30%)
