We are delighted to announce that four of our undergraduate students have been awarded Engineering Leaders Scholarships by the Royal Academy of Engineering.  This is an amazing accomplishment given that only thirty five of these awards were given out across the UK this year!  Individual credit must go to all of the award winners for their incredible achievement!  The winners are (clockwise from top left):  Judith Cameron, Jonathan Louden, Naomi McGregor and Shannon Graham.

The Engineering Leaders Scholarships Programme aims to provide support for engineering undergraduates in UK universities who have the potential to become leaders in engineering and who are able to act as role models for future engineers.  These awards help ambitious and inspiring engineering students to undertake an accelerated personal development programme while they complete their undergraduate studies.  All awardees receive £5,000 to be used over three years towards career oriented personal development activities.

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering students from Queens have now won a total of 22 awards in the last six years, many of these supported through our School’s Leadership Scheme.
