Royal Society ESSO Energy Awards - Civil Engineering

In 1994, four researchers from Queen's won the highly prestigious Royal Society ESSO Energy Award. The four researchers were Professor Whittaker, Professor Long, Professor Raghunathan and Dr Wells. All four agreed to donate their prizes to the University so that annual student prizes could be established within the Faculty of Engineering. ESSO agreed to match the prize money. Two prizes of up to £100 each are awarded annually to students in the School of Natural and Built Environment. One prize is awarded to the undergraduate student on the Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or Environmental Engineering degree programmes with the highest marks in a Stage 3 Project on any topic promoting energy conservation/environmental engineering. The second prize is awarded to the student on any postgraduate taught Masters degree programme under the control of the Civil Engineering Exam Board with the highest marks in a dissertation promoting energy conservation/environmental engineering.
