Students: Test your design skills for a $4,000 scholarship!

Material science, design, and engineering students are encouraged to participate in the PMA’s Second Annual Surprisingly Versatile Design Competition. The student who exhibits the best, most versatile use of cast polyurethane will be awarded a $4,000 scholarship and receive $1,000 for travel expenses to attend the PMA’s 40th anniversary meeting on April 10-12, 2011 in Amelia Island, Fla. The competition requires a written report, design and finished prototype of a cast polyurethane part that is traditionally made of common metal, rubber or other plastic. The project will help students become more aware of the diverse capabilities of cast polyurethane.

The written report, design and finished prototype must be received by February 15, 2011. The winner will be selected by the PMA Education Panel and notified by mail in March.
