The winner of the first prize will receive $1,000, a bronze medal, a certificate and a travel expense supplement to attend the award presentation at the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE). In addition, two runners-up will receive a second prize consisting of a $500 honorarium and certificate and a third prize consisting of $250 and a certificate, respectively.
