This year's Leonhard Center Speaking Contest is sponsored by Oshkosh Corporation, a subsidiary of JLG Industries, who designs and builds the world's toughest specialty trucks and truck bodies and access equipment by working shoulder-to-shoulder with the people who use them. They can be contacted at the upcoming career fair.

To raise the level of presentations given by engineering undergraduates, the Leonhard Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Education has initiated a contest in which engineering students from Penn State's College of Engineering vie to give the best 10-minute presentation that presents an engineering solution to a societal problem.

This semester marks the eighth running of the contest. Attendance of the finals now exceed 250 people and attendance of the semi-finals runs about 75 people. Because of the excellent effort by students and their instructors in their course Effective Speaking for Engineering, this contest is raising the level of presentations among all engineering students in the Penn State College of Engineering.

The contest draws from the hundreds of Penn State engineering students who each semester take a course on effective speaking. Managing the contest is the Penn State student organization Utree (Undergraduate Research and Teaching Experiences in Engineering).
