The ARISE robotics club, the Green Engineers group, and the IEEE uOttawa Student Branch at the Faculty of Engineering would like invite projects submissions from students (high schools, colleges, and universities) in the field of mechatronics to their upcoming Ottawa Mechatronics Competition on Saturday March 26, 2011.

Mechatronics combines the disciplines of mechanical and electronic engineering together with computing and IT systems.  Competitors (individuals or groups of students) entries will be judged based on the ingenuity of their projects and their presentation abilities.

Authors are invited to send an abstract (maximum: 200 words), a short biography (maximum: 150 words), and a headshot (JPEG).  The abstract will be the basis for project selection, therefore we advise authors to focus on describing the details of projects concisely.

Please send the abstract by January 15, 2011 to register@omc2011.ca.  Authors will be notified of acceptance by February 1, 2011.

Further instructions (poster specifications, presentation format, cash prize amounts, etc.) will also be provided.
