Thanks to generous MHI sponsors, including the MHI Solutions Community, Hytrol, Knapp, Sick, Murr, Panther, Grenzenbach, and John Ashodian, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winning teams will receive $2000; $1000; and $500, respectively, to be shared among the students on the team.


In the first year launching this competition, we received 13 submissions from 9 different schools. Each submission was reviewed by a set of industry and academic judges, including Eddie Murphy (Spaceguard Products), Jason Looman (Scanreco), Michael Shannon (SRSI), Steve Hopper (Inviscid Consulting), Derek Westfall (Portland State University, Boeing), Glen Wegel (Kitchen Cabinet Distributors), Alan Marsh, (RF-SMART), Christine Nguyen (Northern Illinois University) and Jennifer Pazour (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute).  Thank you to these judges for donating their time and talents to this initiative.



We are excited to announce the 2022-2023 MHI and CICMHE Senior Design Competition, which will again include monetary prizes for first, second, and third places and recognition at MHI events.  The application process is specifically designed to accommodate differences in capstone deliverables.  So please encourage your capstone design teams to submit their material handling and supply chain projects.  The deadline for submission is May 2023, with more information found on the competition's website: College Industry Council on Material Handling Education Design Competition<https://www.mhi.org/cicmhe/competition>. The process will be similar to last year, and the website will be updated soon with new dates. Questions can be sent to co-chairs Jen Pazour (pazouj at rpi.edu<mailto:pazouj at rpi.edu>) and Christine Nguyen (cnguyen at niu.edu<mailto:cnguyen at niu.edu>).



Congratulations to all the winning teams, their industry clients, and their faculty advisors!
