STUDENT GENERATION Students compete their papers at the Noise and Vibration Conference and Exhibition; the top three winners receive a monetary award (and bragging rights). submit their SAE Noise and Vibration Conference and Exhibition papers to the competition and reap the fruits of their hard work. In my experience, the key to good writing and oral presentations is to always keep in mind the perspective of the reader and the audience while preparing the material. Is there anything else you'd like to share about your paper, your research, or your experience winning this competition? I am grateful to have won the student paper competition twice at the 2021 and 2023 SAE Noise and Vibration Conference and Exhibition. My participation in the competition has improved my technical writing and strengthened my ability to make effective presentations. I sincerely thank my advisor Professor Ahmet Selamet for his invaluable guidance in preparation for the competitions. n By Gretchen Uhrinek, Editor.
