Since 1992, the Steuber Prize for Excellence in Writing has honored undergraduate writers in the College of Engineering. The contest is open to all kinds of writing: expressive, informative, and persuasive. In this year's contest, there were forty-one entries. From these entries, five students have been selected as finalists. Winners were announced at this spring's Polygon Banquet. The Steuber Prize is made possible by the generous donation of William Steuber, who attended the College of Engineering in the 1920s.
