The Quality Control & Reliability Engineering (QCRE) Track of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) is inviting QCRE student members to participate in the Student Interaction and Poster Competition Session at the IISE Annual Conference 2025.<br>

In the Student Poster Competition session, students will be given the opportunity to display their research posters. A winner will be selected by a panel of judges and awarded a certificate. The main judging criteria are based on three aspects 1) Appearance
and structure (poster visually attractive, easy to read, flow logically), 2) Content (technical contribution is clear, objective is well developed, problem is well motivated), and 3) Discussion (the poster provokes quality discussion, poster author shows a
good understanding of the content, the presenter professionally responses to questions).</div>
