engineers, educators and students in more than 50 countries. Previous grand
prize winning entries include a device that makes CPR easy and safe for
anyone to perform, a fuel-saving motor/pump for cars and trucks, a low-cost
in-vehicle emergency warning system, and a new type of energy-efficient
lighting.

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.

Additional prizes will also be awarded to winners in the six entry
categories. Contest categories are Consumer Products; Machinery & Equipment;
Medical; Safety and Security; Sustainable Technologies; and Transportation.
