Design World is thrilled to announce the 2025 LEAP Awards winners! LEAP stands for Leadership in Engineering Achievement Program and celebrates innovative engineering achievements in product and component design. Winners were unveiled in an online broadcast, which you can view on demand here: 2025 LEAP Awards — Winners Announcement. This year, we recognized innovations across 11 categories:
- Advanced materials
- Computer hardware and software
- Connectivity
- Embedded computing
- Fluid power
- Industrial automation
- Mechanical
- Motion control
- Power electronics
- Switches and sensors
- Test and measurement
These categories span four of our company’s engineering brands — Design World, Fluid Power World, EE World, and Engineering.com — and were selected by our independent, expert judging panel. For each category, judges could award Gold, Silver, or Bronze, but note that not all categories necessarily have all three medalists, depending on the scoring.
