On winning the award, Robinson said: "The scholarship has been a great addition to my academic life, and my experience with CSR and the UKESF professional development workshop will prove invaluable as I start my career when I graduate next year.
"Through the scholarship I've been able to connect with industry and with other like minded engineers, so I appreciate the level of competition I was up against to get this award, it's a great honour."
