Department – Process Engineering

The department awards has its own panel. We categorise all projects to fall in either ‘Process’ or ‘Materials’ Engineering categories.

The department committee then carries out an evaluation of the top contenders and considers how best we can award those top performing students that did not win a SMNZI, IChemE or university awards.
