The Engineering Design Show (DS10) _��ƱAPP��_�ĿͲ�Ʊ��-�ٷ��Ϸ

DS10, was held on the 13th and 14th of June 2024, is the tenth annual School of Engineering Design Show since it was conceived in 2015 by former Director of Design Education Alastair Mcdonald, as a showcase for the School's engineering undergraduates. This year's show was bigger than ever, with over 1000 visitors, despite the rainy weather, viewing the work of hundreds of students from Foundation level to final year Group Design projects alongside Formula Student and the Spaceflight Society. The event provided a unique opportunity for industry visitors, schools, educators, family and friends to catch a glimpse of the fantastic and inspiring work the students produce; the event is also a fitting celebration of the achievements of the final-year undergraduates at the end of their degree before they depart for new challenges.

As part of the show, the School awards several special commendations. Two of these awards are decided by visitors from industry, and this year, we were fortunate to welcome judges from Arup, Ramboll, Santander, Shell, and Siemens. The industry judges awarded the Group Design Project (GDP) Design Excellence Award to the Novel Anchor for Floating Offshore Wind, and the Shell Innovation Award was presented to the Design and Build of an Alternative Combustion Engine.

"��ƱAPP��_�ĿͲ�Ʊ��-�ٷ��Ϸ, annual Engineering Design Show is always a fantastic platform for students to showcase their exceptional work especially with the fourth-year capstone group projects bringing together multi-disciplinary teams to deliver their outstanding designs," says Head of School Stephen Turnock. "With over a thousand visitors attending the main exhibition, seeing their efforts celebrated is incredibly rewarding. The involvement of industry professionals with many of our projects and through our industrial advisory boards further strengthens our students' industry connections, preparing them for successful careers."

"A personal highlight, beyond the design show itself, was the Primary Engineer exhibition," Turnock continues. "Seeing the creativity and enthusiasm of so many primary school children as truly inspiring."

The group winners were:

Shell Innovation Award

GDP03 (Design and Build of an Alternative Combustion Engine): 

Robert Harvey

Peter Lockwood

Ollie Leyshon

Fraser Heatlie

Farok Benabdejlil

Design Excellence Award

GDP56 (Novel Anchor for Floating Offshore Wind)

Tom Macfarlane

Alex Chapman

Charles Finney

Matthew Barnfather

Northrup Grumman Award for Excellence in Engineering Design

GDP58 (Toroidal Propeller UAV)

Jack Harding

Patrick Cleary

Benjamin Horwood

Scott Kelly

Vrishin Mehta

Henry Straw 

For the first time, the School of Engineering also opened its doors to a select group of industry visitors for a special industry event. This event provided a chance to learn more about the facilities the University provides and opportunities for industry collaboration and involvement in the School's educational programmes. In addition, Northrup Grumman selected the students from the Toroidal Propeller UAV GDP for their Excellence in Engineering Design award.

The Design Show also runs simultaneously with the annual regional Primary Engineer exhibition and awards ceremony at the Boldrewood campus. Over 71,000 schoolchildren took part in this national competition across the UK, and many of the shortlisted pupils from the South of England attended the exhibition with their families to celebrate their achievements in the competition.

Did you miss the event? The design show is available to view during the University Open Days this summer, Boldrewood campus, B177, Level 3 and finishes on the 31st July.

Scientists take research to Parliament to win gold medal_��ƱAPP��_�ĿͲ�Ʊ��-�ٷ��Ϸ

STEM for BRITAIN is a poster competition in the House of Commons – involving 120 early stage or early career researchers - judged by professional and academic experts, each winner receives a cash prize with a medal for the gold recipient. All presenters are entered into either engineering, biological and biomedical sciences, chemistry, mathematics and physics categories.

Professor Gill Reid from the University of ��ƱAPP��_�ĿͲ�Ʊ��-�ٷ��Ϸ,, and also President of the Royal Society of Chemistry congratulated Maciej Walerowski (Postgraduate) for winning gold medal at the competition.

“We know that innovation in Chemistry is vital to bring forward solutions to the global challenges, including energy, sustainability, and the environment. Therefore, it’s increasingly important that researchers are able to communicate the essence of their work to a non-specialist audience – something Maciej has clearly achieved. I hope this success inspires him as he progresses in his research career both now and in the long term.”

Maciej added “I was absolutely thrilled to win the Chemistry Gold medal for my poster at the Stem For Britain event! Just being selected to present my research at this event was a huge privilege but winning gold was definitely a cherry on top! It was an amazing opportunity to showcase my research to a wider audience which I may not have had the chance to reach otherwise and I was able to take part in exciting discussions. I would highly recommend applying for this event as it gives a unique opportunity to share scientific research.”

Hugo Putuhena, a postdoc in engineering

Hugo's poster assesses finding suitable locations for future offshore wind to meet net-zero targets by 2050, while Robert’s poster showcases his research about advanced methods for analysis of pharmaceuticals with X-ray diffraction, both will be judged against dozens of other scientists’ research from across the country, in the only national competition of its kind.

On presenting their research in Parliament, Hugo said, “STEM for BRITAIN allows me as an early career researcher to engage with MPs, other policy makers and stakeholders who can influence policies related to offshore renewable energy. I hope that I can offer insights derived from my current research while also deepening my understanding of the policy making process.”

Robert Carroll, PhD chemistry student, added, “Coming to the end of my PhD I can present the full scope of the work I’ve undertaken, at scientific conferences this has helped me to interact with the wider community and improve my understanding of subject area. Now, the opportunity to bring this to MPs, and a more general audience, is a great way to engage even more people with the exciting research we’re involved with at ��ƱAPP��_�ĿͲ�Ʊ��-�ٷ��Ϸ,”.

Stephen Metcalfe MP, Chairman of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee, said:

“This annual competition is an important date in the parliamentary calendar because it gives MPs an opportunity to speak to a wide range of the country’s best young researchers.

“These early career engineers and scientists are the architects of our future and STEM for BRITAIN is politicians’ best opportunity to meet them and understand their work.”

The Parliamentary and Scientific Committee runs the event in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Biology, The Physiological Society, The Nutrition Society and the Council for the Mathematical Sciences, with sponsorship from Dyson, Clay Mathematics Institute, United Kingdom Research and Innovation, Warwick Manufacturing Group, AWE, the Society of Chemical Industry, Institute of Biomedical Science, the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research, the Biochemical Society and the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
