Our Young Engineer prize winner Sam Wheelhouse was awarded 3rd prize in the category of ‘Engineering: Electrical and Mechanical’ at yesterday’s Intel ISEF Grand Awards Ceremony in Phoenix for his ‘Man Overboard’ project.  In addition to the prize, he will collect $1,000.    He was also given a ‘Certificate of Honorable Mention’ by the International Council on System Engineering during Thursday night’s Special Award Ceremony.   Sam, who was in the Young Engineers Club at Nottingham High School, is now studying Mechanical Engineering at Loughborough and will join us as an Apprentice later this year.
