You Think You’re So Smart


If there's an innovation gene, engineers are born with it. Think about it. The reason you chose this career path in the first place is because of the ingenuity and creativity it affords you.

You're more innovative than most people. It comes with the territory.

Now, it's time to show Machine Builder Nation what an innovator you are.

The nominating period is open for our 2008 Innovator Awards.

It's easy to enter and prestigious to win.

Whether you're a machine builder, a customer of a machine builder or a supplier to a machine builder, visit ControlDesign.com/innovator now, fill out the online entry form and nominate yourself or another company that has built a machine with innovative automation and controls.

You can't win if you don't enter. It doesn't take an engineer to figure that out.
