LISBON, Oct. 27, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced the winner and runner-up of its annual Student Competition, which is designed to inspire technical students in universities across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) to advance innovation in the process industries. The students will present their winning ideas this week at the 21^st annual Honeywell EMEA Users’ Group 2009 Conference in Lisbon.

This year’s entries were received from universities in Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Norway, Russia, and the United Arab E (UAE).  The winner is Leonid Kamenyev from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology State University. His entry, Development of a Steam Generation Unit Simulator and its Tune-up on the Basis of the First Principles Model, presented the modeling of steam generation in regular and abnormal situations in order to explore new operator training strategies for an ammonia unit of a major industrial site in EMEA. Morten Bakke from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology was the runner up with A Simulated Debutanizer Case Study for Teaching Advanced Process Control.

By participating in the EMEA Users’ Group Conference, Leonid and Morten will have the opportunity to learn more about the process industry, network with over 300 attendees and potentially meet a future employer.

Honeywell launched the student competition last year at the 20^th annual EMEA Users’ Group Conference in Berlin, where it awarded prizes to technical students from Austria, Germany, South Africa and the UAE. The competition is aimed at nurturing talent and uncovering the process industry leaders of tomorrow from diverse countries and academic institutions. It also seeks to align higher

education with the realities and challenges of the industry. This year’s challenge focused on economic and cost pressures that are forcing process manufacturers to think of new, innovative ways to use the same day-to-day tools. With this scenario in mind, entrants were invited to submit ideas on the topic of: Innovative use of Honeywell’s UniSim^® Design software.

“The student competition is part of our continuing drive to stimulate innovation and achievement in the process industry,” said Edwin van den Maagdenberg, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Process Solutions EMEA. “Leonid and Morten approached our challenge in different ways, but both of them have demonstrated exceptional critical thinking in looking at how leading-edge technology can be applied in new ways to solve real-world challenges. I look forward to seeing this competition grow even more and having students from all across EMEA apply to be part of what promises to be an incubator of new ideas for the process industry. ”
