  <body><![CDATA[<p>A team of undergraduate students in the Stewart School of
Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), who won the fall 2011 Senior Design
Competition, continue to receive high honors for their project sponsored by
Railcar Management, Inc. (RMI).&nbsp; During
the 2012 IIE Southeast Student Regional Conference February 16-19, the students
received first place in the Undergraduate Student Technical Paper Competition for
their project “Private Fleet Optimization.” </p>



<p>The conference was made up of students from fifteen
different schools that all came together to network with their peers and future
colleagues, and to further their interest in industrial engineering. </p>

<p>Additionally, the team has been invited to attend The 2012
Annual IIE Conference and Expo in Orlando, Florida May 19-23, where their paper
will compete against the first place papers from other regions.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
