Entries are also judged on the presentation of their ideas.
"At the May meeting, the [Disney] reps explained to me that once students from a University reach finalist status, Disney encourages students from that University to participate on an annual basis," Muschio said. "Disney is especially interested in encouraging women and minority students to become involved."
Six competition finalists, three teams and three individuals, were chosen from more than thirty entries from across North America.
The winners were announced on June 8.
First place went to Daniel Joseph from the University of the Arts, located in Philadelphia.
The second place winners were Lara Clark and Yrinee Michaelidis from the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Mass.
The Drexel team tied with Ilana Marks from North Carolina State University for third place.
The competition is held by the Walt Disney Imagineering team, which is the planning, creative development, design, engineering and production arm of The Walt Disney Company and its affiliates.
Imagineering began in December 1952, when Walt Disney formed it to develop and build Disneyland, which opened on July 17, 1955.
