  • New science or research.
  • Selection based on technical merit.
  • Emphasis is on previously unpublished work in science or engineering relevant to welding, joining and allied processes.
  • Preference will be given to submittals with clearly communicated benefit to the welding industry.
Applied Technologies
  • New or unique applications.
  • Selection based on technical merit
  • Emphasis is on previously unpublished work that applies known principles of joining science or engineering in unique ways.

Education
  • Welding education at all levels.
  • Emphasis is on education/training methods and their successes.
  • Papers should address overall relevance to the welding industry.

The AWS Poster Session is also an integral part of the Professional program where graphic displays of technical achievements can be presented. Posters present welding results and related material, which are best communicated visually, as well as research results that call for close study of photomicrographs, tables, systems architecture, or other illustrative materials. Posters are presented in five categories: Students in a High School Welding Program, Students in a Two-Year College or Certificate Program, Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, and Professionals.
