This Year’s Northern European Student Design Contest is bigger and better than ever, with not only some of the most ingenious ideas we’ve seen to date but also the new opportunity for the wider engineering community and the public to vote for their favourite project.
Voting runs from the 20th Sept to the 21st Oct so there is a month for your readers to have their say: http://uk.ni.com/studentdesign-2016. The winner of the public vote will be presented the ‘People’s choice Award’ at the Engineering Impact Awards held at the RSA in London, 28th November, as well as an award for the Judges choice too.
