The 2012 IEEE Presidents' Change the World Competition is a contest designed to recognize students who identify a real-world problem, apply engineering, science, computing and leadership skills to solve it, and, thereby, benefit humanity or their community.
Judging
Submissions will be evaluated and ranked by a global judging committee, comprised of IEEE Student Activities Committee and Member and Geographic Activities volunteers. The top 15 finalist projects will be selected in April 2012 and forwarded to the IEEE Presidents for final judging.
The 2011, 2012 and 2013 IEEE Presidents will evaluate the top 15 projects and select the final prize winners based on the results achieved and their impact on humanity, or, on a community. Sustainability, reusability, transportability of the results to other parts of the world, entrepreneurship, originality, creativity and leadership are important but secondary evaluation factors.
The announcement of the top winner will occur at the IEEE Honors Ceremony in July 2012.
