Presentation types

The following presentation types are available:

  1. Technical oral (paper required)

An oral presentation consists of a brief presentation and question and answer time. Slides are mandatory for all oral presentations.

You may submit and present one abstract only. A presentation may be delivered by a maximum of two authors however, both must be registered to attend CSE25.

All abstracts and papers are peer reviewed. Poster presentations are not peer reviewed.

Technical oral

All technical oral presentations should address advancements in technical research with investigations and studies to support. They should also include industry trends if applicable and contribute to a scholarly discourse.

If your abstract is accepted, a paper will be required. We'll be in touch with more information. In general, papers should be between five and 12 pages including illustrations and a biography. You can also include an appendix which doesn’t contribute to the page count.

All papers from the conference will be published in the RMIT Informit Engineering Collection. Papers in this collection will be available in the Engineers Australia publication library and searchable via Google, Google Scholar, NLA, EBSCO, OCLC, Summon and various other search engines.

Industry oral

Industry oral presentations should showcase industry-specific benchmark practices, lessons learned, project work and relevant strategies.

You only need to submit an abstract for an industry oral presentation, a paper isn’t required.

Poster

If you don't wish to speak at the conference you can still provide input with a poster which can be displayed at the conference. Posters can include any sort of visual information including photos, graphics, text, reference tables and figures. All posters should include a summary of your key findings and recommendations for future research or projects.
