Engineering Leadership awards

Many congratulations to the six undergraduates in their second year, who have been awarded Engineering Leadership Awards this year from the Royal Academy of Engineering.

They are:

  • Suria Ismail (Jesus);
  • Ian Evans (Jesus);
  • Edward Sharp (Robinson);
  • Claire Foister (Fitzwilliam);
  • Natalie Davis (Selwyn)
  • Emily Todd (New Hall).

The Engineering Leadership Awards scheme is a sponsored program that enables many young engineers at university to take engineering and management to a higher level.

Benefits to the students include:

  • Receiving £500 cash each year for three years to cover educational expenses;
  • Gaining up to £6,000 over three years for activities on their own bespoke personal development plan;
  • Attending seminars and workshops which provide management training and career development advice, held at the University of Cambridge;
  • Having access to their own personal mentor, who is a Sainsbury Management Fellow;
  • Gaining high quality work experience and career opportunities.

This year's winners have plans for the summer ranging from repairing aircraft in Tanzania to working in Dubai on engineering related projects.
