Material Handling Capstone Design Competition Sponsored by the Material Handling Industry (MHI) and College Industry Council on Material Handling Education (CICMHE), the purpose of the competition is to recognize outstanding material handling applications and encourage student interest in the material handling industry as a profession, recognize outstanding work, and promote collaboration between members and university students.

This competition is an opportunity for students to showcase their capstone course work and be recognized by industry professionals and academia. We encourage students whose capstone projects relate to Material Handling and Supply Chain to submit their work to the competition. Submissions will be evaluated by a committee of MHI and CICMHE members and judged based on the following criteria:

• Project complexity and outcome success
• Creativity in addressing the problem
• Potential impact/contribution to the Material Handling Industry
• Quality of the deliverables
• Effective communication of the problem, approach, design, and results
