The ICPF Teleconference grand finale this past February included ICPF’s 2017 Student Design Presentation Competition. Four student teams—two from Millersville University, a team from Cal Poly, and a student from Appalachian State—were tasked to show, tell, and sell their designs (that won first or second place in a separate 2016 competition conducted by AICC) by explaining the objective, the research conducted, design, and other background information. Appalachian State secured first place, and second place went to the Cal Poly student team. The two Millersville teams won third and fourth place. Each team was awarded a cash prize.
