They have taken their valuable time to make an important contribution. In all, 20 papers were submitted, including 3 in category 1 (undergraduate students), 14 in category 2 (graduate students), 1 in category 3 (partnership between industry and academia), and 3 in category 4 (curriculum development). The winning papers from each category for the 2003–2004 contest are included in this volume.
