The evening of Wednesday 18th June 2008 marked a celebration of the work done by the East of England Year in Industry students with awards being made to a number of students. EEESTA presented the Innovation Award to Andrew Newbold for his work with Cambridge Consultants.

The Year in Industry is one of the established BEST (Better Engineering Science and Technology - www.raengbest.org.uk) schemes run by the Royal Academy of Engineering - www.raeng.org.uk. YINI enables high potential young people to work in industry for a year prior to going to University. Visit www.yini.org.uk and www.etrust.org.uk to see all the schemes.

The evening of 18th June celebrated the achievements of YINI students working in the East of England. Awards were made to a number of students with the main award from the Engineering Employers Federation — www.eef.org.uk being made to Usman Rana for his excellent work improving manufacturing processes for Unipath Ltd based in Bedford. His presentation can be seen by clicking on the link below. Usman will now go forward to be judged in the National Awards to be held in London on 11th September and is going to study Chemical Engineering at Imperial College.
