Engineering Simulation Techniques:

Outstanding Undergraduate Project Award

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.

The deadline for submission has now past, for the 2023/2024 competition. Details of next years' competition will be available in due course - watch this space!

Congratulations to our winners of 2022/2023 Award

Engineering Simulation Techniques: Outstanding Project Award 2019/2020

1st Prize
Saffron Pougher from University of Oxford
“Bubbles and Streaks Under Breaking Ocean Waves”

2nd Prize
James Sterling from Queen's University Belfast
“Finite Element Modelling of Damage and the Resultant Reduction in Mechanical Strength in Composite Battery Enclosures resulting from Battery Thermal Runaway”

With over 115,000 members in 140 countries, the IMechE have been at the heart of the UK mechanical engineering profession since 1847.

Throughout the constantly evolving work of mechanical engineers, one institution has been at the heart of the world’s most important and dynamic industries since its formation in 1847. Today, working hard to support their 115,000 members, the Institution is the market leader among professional engineering bodies. It is a go-ahead organization with global reach that truly represents and reflects the profession: encouraging professional registration and long-term career development.
