TOMIS is the Tour and Activity Industry's only one-stop shop for all things digital marketing.

The new smart-grid system won a prestigious R&D 100 Award in November, recognition that Trudnowski says ranks Montana Tech in the big leagues of research and development players such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University.

He described the system as "the first successful grid demonstration of feedback control using real-time wide-area measurements in North America, making it a game changer by demonstrating how to change the existing grid into the future smart grid."

Meanwhile, David Schoenwald, an engineer with Sandia National Laboratories said the R&D 100 Award is a significant honor. He said the awards have been referred to as the "Oscars of invention."
