This year, ingenuity was awarded in the following categories: motion control/automation, electronics, hardware/software, and materials/assembly. Editor-in-chief, John Dodge, states “Our Golden Mousetrap Awards give innovators the recognition they justly deserve. The awards span Design News’ five coverage areas and we extend our sincerest congratulations to the winners and finalists. Their perseverance in these challenging economic times is admirable, indeed.”
