SENG National Student Award
Submitted by adminssee on Mon, 2011-11-14 21:54
The Sustainable Engineering Society is committed to promoting the practice of engineering in accordance with a sustainability ethic that leads to sustainable development.
To encourage the development of a sustainability ethic throughout Australia, the Society offers annual State Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Award to undergraduate students. The winning student project from each state is then eligible to be entered in the National Student Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Award.
One nomination will be accepted from each state chapter annually based on the results of the state Student Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Awards. The winner of the National Award will be given the opportunity to present their paper at the SENG bi-annual conference.
The National Student Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Award Guidelines for the best final year project report incorporating sustainability can be downloaded here.
Nominations for the 2013 National prize will open in November 2012.
Please refer to the timeline for chapter and national awards.
For more information please contact your Chapter chair, or the SENG Committee Administrator.
