Design Division Students Win Many Awards in the 1998-99 Lincoln Design CompetitionME Design Division students did very well in the 1998-99 James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation Design Competition. This national competition attracts entries from many of the major universities in the United States. It is a double-blind contest: all references to the name of the participating company and the university are removed from any submitted documents, and the contents of the documents are treated as confidential material by the judges.At the undergraduate level, the ME113 "Wireless Network Link Antenna Position" project for Cisco Systems received a Merit Award. It is significant that many competing projects from other universities have been worked on by large teams (8-12 students) and for up to nine months. At the graduate level, ME210/310 took five out of the seven Medal Awards (1/1 Best, 1/1 Gold, 1/2 Silver, 2/3 Bronze), with the "Innovative Composite Crutch" for the Department of Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Rehabilitation R&D Center receiving the Best of Program Award (top prize). Funding for this project was provided by the Ballistic Missile Defense Oranization within the Department of Defense with the goal of finding medical applications for space/defense composite materials.
