University Invests in Gear Research
The Gear Research Group (GRG) at the University of Huddersfield has been involved in nine major research projects worth about £800,000 over the past 15 years.
Sims, 24, wrote her thesis while in her final year at Newcastle University where she graduated with a 2:1 MEng in mechanical engineering (Europe).
She was also awarded a DiplIng by the German university where she studied for a significant proportion of the course.
She will be presented with her prize at a BGA Technical Committee meeting on 10th December and it will be the second time in less than a month that she has attended a prize-winning ceremony.
She won a Whitworth scholarship award for the preparation of her degree and was recently elected a Whitworth scholar entitling her to be a member of the Whitworth Society at a ceremony at IMechE in London.
Sims is now a project engineer at Allen Gears, Pershore, Worcestershire, a Rolls-Royce subsidiary where she undertook a 4-year mechanical apprenticeship.
