Global Design Contest Challenges Engineers and Students to Create the
Future
NEW YORK, March 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The 12th annual "Create the
Future" Design Contest (www.createthefuturecontest.com) sponsored by
COMSOL and Mouser Electronics, along with Intel@ and Analog Devices,
and produced by Tech Briefs Media Group is now open and runs through
July 1, 2014. Create an innovative new product idea that benefits
society and the economy for the opportunity to receive global
recognition and a cash prize of $20,000.
The "Create the Future" Design Contest has been responsible for
bringing attention to product designs that increase the quality of
life, improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare, and help to
reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
"The Create the Future Design Contest does an amazing job of shining
light on new product ideas and innovators. That is why COMSOL is
delighted to be sponsoring the contest for the 10th year running,"
said Bernt Nilsson, COMSOL Senior VP of Marketing.
"Advancing technological innovation is at the heart of what we do here
at Mouser and we are very excited to support design engineers by
helping to sponsor this global design contest for them," said Kevin
Hess, Mouser Electronics' Vice President of Technical Marketing.
Past contests have generated over 9,000 design ideas from engineers,
educators, and students in more than 100 countries. Previous grand
prize winning entries include a ChemoPatch capable of delivering
quality early stage chemotherapy in developing countries; a key
fob-sized device that makes smart phones "smarter" by enabling
consumers to run a variety of low-cost sensing applications; and an
economical, rapid screening device that prevents food borne illness.
This year's categories include: Aerospace & Defense,
Automotive/Transportation, Consumer Products, Electronics,
Machinery/Automation/Robotics, Medical Products, and Sustainable
Technologies. In addition to product concepts, designs for products
that have been introduced to the market within the past 12 months are
eligible.
Contest entries can be submitted by an individual or a team. An
independent industry panel will judge the entries. Web site visitors
are invited to vote for their favorite entry. For more information on
