Can I enter?

Applicants must be between 18 and 30 years old but may come from all walks of engineering life: students, recent graduates, apprentices and young professionals. The competition is open to both IET members and non-members alike.

I have not completed my studies as yet?

The emphasis is on the presenter's presentation skills rather than technical content, enabling competitors at varying levels of their studies or career to participate on an equal footing.

Who will be there?

The presentations are given in front of an audience and judges. There will be three judges who will assess the presentations then decide on a winner and runner-up.

Where is it held?

The competition takes place throughout the world and starts at IET Local Network (LN) level. Winners of all the LN heats progress to the next stage(s) of the competition. Winners give the same presentation at each stage of the competition, thereby enhancing their presentation skills and improving their confidence at responding to questions.

What next?

As well as providing an informal and supportive environment in which competitors can develop their presentation and networking skills, the PATW competition provides a means through which young engineers and technologists can share knowledge and information.
