Technical Paper Submission
PLEASE NOTE: This is a new and fairly lengthy and complicated process for uploading papers this year as we are using the same system used by the AIAA professional conferences which can be found on http://www.aiaa.org. The conference committee HIGHLY recommends that you do not wait until the last minute to start this process. If you have questions or problems, make sure you email the judging coordinator right away so that we can help you take care of it.
To compete in the Paper-and-Presentation competition, follow these steps:
1) Go to http://www.aiaa.org
Upload your abstract for the Region III conference at http://www.aiaa.org
After your abstract is approved, select the appropriate copyright assignment statement for your submisssion, and then upload your actual paper
2) Go to http://region3.aiaastudentconference.org
Register for the conference.
Create/join your Technical Paper on the "My Registration" page (don't forget your tracking number).
TRACKING NUMBER
The tracking number field on the technical paper and design team forms is used to link the paper you upload to http://www.aiaa.org to your registration on this web site. As part of the process of uploading your paper, you will receive the tracking number. Please make sure you update your presentation on this web site with that information so that your document can be correctly linked.
DEADLINES
See "Call For Papers" sidebar.
FORMATTING
There is an author kit available that reiterates the formatting of your paper. See link on right sidebar. Please make sure you follow the formatting guidelines or you may be subject to disqualification. NOTE: Don't fill out the copyright forms in that document, they will be completed online when you upload your paper.
For formatting samples, the conference committee suggests you search for some professional papers at aiaa.org. You should be able to view the first page of these without purchasing them and they will give you a better idea of the formatting style.
There are no strict guidelines for formatting your abstract submittal. Just make sure you include the paper title, authors information, and then of course the abstract that will also be at the beginning of your actual paper. It may be easiest to just copy it from the beginning of your paper into another document for submittal.
HARD COPY SUBMITTAL
Hard copies will NOT be required.
DO NOT WAIT TO START THIS PROCESS
The conference committee can not stress this enough. Please try to get started as soon as possible on this. The deadlines are not flexible.

New for 2008 Student Conferences
Based on the recommendations of each region’s student conference
committee, the Student Paper Conference Chair(s) from each region may
nominate one student (per conference) for a summer undergraduate
internship at a NASA research center. Student nominations must be
from students who attended and participated in the regional conference
as presenters or conference organizers. Regions are encouraged to make
the selection at the regional conference so that the selection may be
announced at the conference awards ceremony. Specific criteria for the
selection is left to the Student Paper Conference Chair in coordination
with the Chief Judge for the conference. Along with the name of the
student nominee, the Student Paper Conference Chair MUST include the student’s resume, the student’s paper, and a short
statement of why the student was selected as that Student Paper
Conference’s nominee. NASA will use internal methods to select one
student intern from the submitted resumes and work directly with the
student to work out details of the internship. NASA will also forward
the name to the Chairman of the Student Conference Sub-Committee so
that regions can be notified of the final selection.
