The Task 7 team won second place for its task, which was to propose uses for small diameter ponderosa pine, and the Task 11 team won second place for its task, which was to propose environmentally friendly ways to recycle the waste streams generated by semiconductor processing. Ohio University also entered a team in task 6, which was to propose a way to remove solid waste material from storage tanks.
