Engineering Students Win Prestigious Contest
Four students are first-place winners in a letter-writing competition called "Tomorrow's Energy Ambassadors, Managers and Scholars" (TEAMS). Shahzeen Attari (CEE/EPP), Ines Margarida Lima de Avezedo (EPP), Benjamin Flath (CEE), and Constantine Samaras (CEE/EPP) wrote an open letter to the 2008 presidential candidates challenging them on the issues of energy and sustainability. The contest was sponsored by Johnson Controls and asked students from 200 member schools of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) to participate. The winning letter was published in the Nov. 20, 2007 issue of USA Today. Full press release is accessible on the College of Engineering news website. Congratulations to Shaz, Ines, Ben and Costas!
