A student who has made an ‘exceptional contribution to engineering’ has been awarded a £3,000 bursary in honour of one of the pioneers of jet turbine technology.

 

The City of Lincoln Council has again backed the Sir Frank Whittle Bursary with the University of Lincoln’s School of Engineering student Josh Williamson becoming the second annual recipient of the award.

 

As well as his strong academic performance Josh was selected for the award for his outreach work with schools and the fact research he carried out for Lincoln-based Copernicus Technology Ltd has opened up new revenue streams.
