BOZEMAN â Graduate students from Montana State University will give the public a chance to hear their 80,000-word thesis projects presented in only 180 seconds each this afternoon from 3-4:30 p.m.
MSU’s Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering will host the seventh annual Three Minute Thesis event in a hybrid in-person/virtual format due to COVID-19 precautions. Presenters, judges and limited guests will gather in the Montana Room in Norm Asbjornson Hall, while a livestream will be available for public viewing at https://montana.webex.com/meet/v45c363.
The nine finalists chosen for the Three Minute Thesis competition at MSU come from disciplines across the engineering college. They will explain, very concisely, how their research affects the average person. Contestants condense their research into a brief, engaging presentation for a non-specialist audience, using only a single presentation slide as a visual aid.
