Rob Dickinson - Siemens Medal winner
Rob Dickinson receives the Sir William Siemens Medal from Alan Wood, CEO of Siemens
plc
|
Congratulations Rob Dickinson.
Rob Dickinson, now a final year student in the Department of Engineering, received a Siemens medal from Alan
Wood, Chief Executive of Siemens plc, at a ceremony held at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London,
on 5th November 2004. Rob was nominated for the award in recognition of his excellent project work in the
third year combined with his impressive progress in other parts of the Electrical Engineering course.
The Siemens Medal was first inaugurated in
1883; at that time only one was awarded annually. In 1993, it was further extended to fourteen of the leading
Universities in the UK, who were invited to nominate students to receive these prestigious awards. This year
Siemens plc celebrated the 10th anniversary of the scheme and invited several previous winners to attend the
ceremony. The 2 inch bronze medals are struck at the Royal Mint as replicas of the original medal first
awarded in 1883, and the award includes a generous cheque.
The Siemens company offers these awards to raise the profile of science and technology, and to encourage
students into the profession of electrical and electronic engineering. |
