Community supports Engineering students
Growing community support for the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Civil Engineering program will be celebrated on Monday 1 August at USC’s annual Engineering Awards ceremony.
Seven awards – four scholarships and three prizes totalling $22,000 – will be presented to University students from 5.45pm at the event in USC’s recently-opened Engineering and Science Training Facility.
Three of the awards are new, and almost double the number of community-funded awards on offer for Engineering students this year.
The ceremony will be preceded by a guided tour of the facility by USC's Professor of Civil Engineering Mark Porter.
The awards to be presented are:
- The $5,000 Les and Mary Hall Family Scholarship in Engineering, which was first presented in 2009, for a first-year student in the Bachelor of Civil Engineering;
- The $5,000 Graham Tamblyn Scholarship in Engineering for a second-year Bachelor of Civil Engineering with a major in Environment and Water;
- Two new $5,000 GHD Scholarships for Environment and Water Engineering and Construction Engineering.
- The $1,000 LEW Mosel Prize in Engineering for a second-year Engineering student; and
- The $500 Mark and Susan Bradley Prize in Engineering to support the best over first year student enrolled in the Bachelor of Civil Engineering.
- The $500 Laurie Cowled Women in Engineering Prize for a first year student.
