海角直播 engineering students supported by ElringKlinger

14 May 2014

 

The hard work of four students at 海角直播 is to be recognised thanks to a new prize fund set up by a leading engineering firm.

ElringKlinger (GB), a major local employer in the region, is sponsoring the prize fund for students graduating from BEng Mechanical Engineering courses in the University鈥檚 School of Science and Engineering. The prizes, which total 拢550, will be awarded to the four students by ElringKlinger (GB) Managing Director Ian Malcolm at the end of the academic year 2013/14.

The winners will each receive a cheque, plaque, certificate and a citation during their graduation ceremonies.

The prizes will be awarded to the top students in Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, Manufacturing Processes, Mechanics of Materials 2 and the Interdisciplinary Project.

ElringKlinger (GB), the UK division of German multinational ElringKlinger, manufactures and supplies car parts for a range of vehicles from its Redcar factory, including the likes of Jaguar Land Rover, BMW MINI and Ford.

The company enjoys a strong relationship with 海角直播 and has previously taken on 海角直播 undergraduates as part of its Year in Industry offering.

Ian Malcolm said: 'Education and skills continue to be high up on our agenda here at ElringKlinger (GB) and we continue to support and recognise the need for promoting engineering as a career, to bridge the skills gap we are currently facing.

'It is always encouraging to see young people taking an interest and actively pursuing a career in the sector and equipping students with the skills they need to establish themselves for a successful engineering future is something we hope to build on through our relationship with 海角直播.'

Jessica Turner, Corporate and Alumni Relations Officer, said: 'We are extremely grateful to ElringKlinger (GB) for this generous prize fund. 鈥淭he prizes will have a transformative effect on the winners and will open up new opportunities to them.

'We are delighted that ElringKlinger(GB) is continuing to support our students in this vital sector and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them.'
