Homeland Security Education @ TAMU

On May 2, the Colorado Homeland Defense Alliance, and the Colorado Springs Technology Incubator will host the National Security Innovation Competition.  The competition, which is open to teams of up to five undergraduate and graduate students, is designed to allow students to present their original ideas for new products or technologies that can meet existing Security needs, to a wide audience comprised of individuals involved in industry, academia, and various government agencies.

Students will be required to give a fifteen minute oral presentation on their original technology, as well as answer questions about their technology from the audience.  The teams will be evaluated solely on their oral presentation. 

One page executive summaries are due by April 21, and electronic copies of the presentation are due by the April 30.  Students are not required to submit a written paper to be eligible for the competition. 

For more information about the competition, including judging criteria, prize information and competition objectives, visit the competition’s website.  Competition submission or further questions should be submitted to Roger Neeland at rneeland@cstionline.org.
