YOUNG ENGINEER OF THE YEAR

In September 2007 the Principal of Woking College was approached and asked if the college and students would be interested in taking part in a science or engineering project sponsored by the Rotary Club of Woking.

Martin Ingram the Principal was enthusiastic, but the problem of persuading the students to take part fell to Lynn Stott the
Head of Department for Science. She set her Electronic Engineering students a challenge and the student responded with enthusiasm.

Many of the students at this level choose a circuit that someone else has designed but the eventual winner Daniel Searle designed and built his own system for the basis of an Electronic Combination Lock.

The projects were judged by Mr Brian Stratford of the University of Surrey. He commented "My decision is that the Rotary Club of Woking Award should go to Daniel Searle for his 'combination lock'. Mr Stratford was impressed enough with two other entries to offer a second prize, funded by the University to be shared between Jonathon Nash and Alistair Beddow both of whom built quiz referees.
