    Britain's Queen Elizabeth presented her first ever Prize for Engineering, during a ceremony in late June at Buckingham Palace. Some hope the new award will become the engineering    (1)    of the Nobel Prize for scientific achievement.

    The award includes a prize of one million British pounds, or about $1.5 million. It was presented to five men who    (2)      the Internet and developed the ways one third of the world's population uses it.
