Gear change system catches judges’ eyes.
 London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel was the setting for the 2008 Science, Engineering & Technology Student of the Year Awards. The awards are described as Britain and Ireland’s most important awards for science and engineering undergraduates and are sponsored, supported and judged by industry leaders and professional institutions.
Hundreds of candidates from universities across the UK submitted projects for a variety of categories. Although each category was closely fought, it was the e2v Technologies award for best electronic engineering student that piqued most insiders’ interest. The strength of the entries resulted in a tight battle for the freshest talent in the industry.
The submissions were whittled down to three contenders, who were then interviewed individually by a panel consisting of Carlos Huggins (e2v), Prof Bernard Weiss (University of Surrey), Prof Hugh McCann (University of Manchester) and David Nicoll (JTD Certax). However, one project stood out above the rest and and the winner was announced as Niall Oswald from Bristol University with his project – A ‘more electric’ Formula 1 gearbox.
