Date:2/25/2008

ompeted at the finals. The judging was done Monday.

"We were impressed that they thought about non-line of sight issues, energy and propagation range," Swami said. "Plus, they had built-in redundancy."

Basra complimented the students on their thorough presentation. "They had good ideas and presented them well," he said. "All three students participated and they were able to answer all the questions."

IEEE-USA President Russ Lefevre presented each team member with a plaque. The students will each later receive a $100 U.S. Savings Bond. Harding also won the People's Choice Award, an honor voted on by all the Future City National Finals students.

Heritage Middle School of Westerville, Ohio, won the overall competition for their future city, "Ra." See www.futurecity.org or www.eweek.org for additional information.

When the first Future City Competition was staged, about 600 students and 175 schools participated across five regions. For more on the early history of the program, go to www.todaysengineer.org/2008/Feb/FCC.asp.

Mike Andrews, chair of the Future City Advisory Board and coordinator of the Phoenix region, is one of many IEEE members who hold leadership roles within Future City. The other IEEE-member regional coordinators are: Sonya Hutchinson (Alabama region), Dan O'Malley (Northern California), Osama Mohammed (Florida), Todd Hiemer (Oklahoma), Jean Eason (North Texas), Zafar Taqvi (Houston) and Karen Pavletich (Washington State).
