Simon's poster will be printed in the official NAIAS program.

"The record number of entries speaks volumes about interest in NAIAS and global auto industry," said NAIAS 2014 Chairman, Bob Shuman.  "What is especially important is that these students exhibited the creative talent that is so critical to the success of this industry."
