Students were asked to submit original, non-computer generated artwork that addressed the past, present, or future of the Interstate Highway System in Texas, and the committee received 23 poster entries from across the state of Texas. Entries were judged by a panel of transportation professionals, and the Future Engineers Committee sponsored cash prizes for the winners of first through third place.
