Finalists for Spring 2018 contest.
This semester marks the eleventh running of the contest. Attendance of the finals now exceeds 250 people and attendance of the semi-finals runs about 75 people. Because of the excellent effort by students and their instructors in their course Effective Speaking for Engineering, this contest is raising the level of presentations among all engineering students in the Penn State College of Engineering.

To raise the level of presentations given by engineering undergraduates, the Leonhard Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Education has initiated a contest in which engineering students from Penn State's College of Engineering vie to give the best 10-minute presentation that presents an engineering solution to a societal problem. The contest draws from the hundreds of Penn State engineering students who each semester take a course on effective speaking. Managing the contest is the Penn State student organization Utree (Undergraduate Research and Teaching Experiences in Engineering).
Devon Heston, a junior in mechanical engineering, discusses how new cameras on phones can focus. Devon earned first place in the contest.
