Last night we held the annual MPG Student Poster event where students from our local universities present their ongoing project work to a panel of judges.  This year the event was hosted by Aston University - our sincere thanks go to Lee and Wen for organising the event in the Great Hall.  We had 22 excellent posters presented with both post-grad and under-grad submissions from Aston, Birmingham, Coventry, Staffordshire and Warwick.  All the posters and accompanying presentations were of a very high standard which made the judging decisions particularly challenging.  For the first time, we also included a student vote where all participating students could vote for their favourite poster.   


In total seven prizes were awarded, some sponsored by the IET and others from two corporate sponsors - ATB and Amey.  Our thanks go to all sponsors of the event.
