UK Student Award

Engineering Simulation Techniques:

Outstanding Undergraduate Project Award 2023/2024

Awarded by the IMechE and NAFEMS

 

 

 

Open to everyone completing a project that involves engineering simulation techniques such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, or multibody dynamics.

This initiative is jointly organised by the STMG- Structural Technology and Materials Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers - and the NAFEMS UK Steering Committee.

The award is aimed at those studying an undergraduate degree accredited by the IMechE, and who are completing a project that involves the use of engineering simulation techniques such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics or multi-body dynamics.


To participate, simply submit an electronic summary of your project report (approximately 300 -1000 words), along with contact details, the online submission form simply needs to be completed here.

The submission must adhere to the awards rules and regulations the project summary will be assessed by our panel of expert judges.

The deadline for nominations is 31st July 2024
