This year’s Trust Awards, for £500 each, were made to Elisa Vignaga, for the purchase of a flow controller, and to Sonia Holik to help with expenses in attending the European Doctoral School on Metamaterials.
Come on boys! Don’t let the girls win every time.
In 2008, the Trust was delighted to be able to make five awards. The successful candidates were…
Samuel Smith, who represented a team of Product Design Engineering undergraduates developing a racing car | Nita Nathan, a postgraduate student in Aeronautical Engineering | Rosa Uchima, a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate carrying out a Product Design project | Stefania Latorre, a postgraduate student in Aeronautical Engineering | Murray Simpson, a fourth year Civil Engineering undergraduate studying Environmental Design
In February 2007, seven applications were received, of whom three were interviewed. The major award of £500 was made to a student undertaking a research MSc in Aeronautical Engineering, contributing towards the costs in designing and building an Micro Aerial Vehicle for entry in an international competition. A smaller award was made to a third year student in Product Design Engineering, £300, towards travelling costs to work on the Chembe Water Project in Malawi.
