A team of industrial engineering students from Montana State University won this year's Material Handling Student Design Competition, an annual contest sponsored by Modern and the College Industry Council on Material Handling Education (www.mhia.org/et).

This year's competition presented students with a description of a 228,000-square-foot manufacturing and warehousing facility and challenged them to redesign the facility to improve materials handling, storage and product flow.

Members of the winning team—undergraduates Amanda Andrikopoulos, Marek Gebicki and Matthew Hume—each received a $500 prize. An additional $500 went to the Industrial Engineering department at MSU.
