Ferris State University
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), coordinator of the U.S. voluntary standardization system, and its Committee on Education (CoE) hosts a paper competition every year. The purpose of this competition is part of an ANSI-led effort to raise awareness about the strategic importance of standards and conformance among U.S. undergraduate and graduate students.
The 2016 winners are:
Karmin Chong of the City College of New York are the first-place winners:
Amanda Goetz, Branden Hill, Libby Lee, and Jennifer Pattillo of Michigan’s Ferris State University are the second-place winners.
The 2017 papers focusing on “The World in 2050” (Click here) were due in April and are now being evaluated by Committee on Education for award during World Standards Week — October 16-20 in Washington D.C. (Click here). In the intervening time, it is not too soon for educators to present this opportunity to students. During its May 22nd meeting, the ANSI Committee on Education discussed multi-media possibilities for the student “paper” competition. More information on this possibility, and how to become involved, is available from Lisa Rajchel ([email protected]) and Monte Bogatz ([email protected]).
