Student Competition

On behalf of the IEEE Aerospace Electronics Systems Society and the AIAA Digital Avionics Technical Committee (DATC), the 35th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) will hold a student contest in Sacramento, California September 25-29, 2016. 
The 35th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) will hold a student contest centered around the conference theme “Enabling Avionics for UAS/UTM”. The student contest has both a precollege division and an undergraduate division. It calls for students to respond to a series of questions on the future implications of UTM and seeks researched answers in a short document and/or presentation. Please navigate to the detailed questionnaire below.  Entries must be submitted by September 10, 2016. Students whose paper/presentation is accepted for an invited review, will be invited to present their results during the conference (in person in Sacramento or via a Skype link on the afternoon of September 28).  Entries will be evaluated on the quality of answers and presentation. The three best presentations will be recognized and cash prizes reach up to $500.

The deadline for student contest entry is September 10th, 2016. Please see the detailed questionnaire and submit your presentation through our online system:
