Recognizing Outstanding Commitment And Achievement By Female Undergraduates In Engineering
The annual Ford WISE Prize recognises outstanding commitment and achievement by female undergraduates in engineering.
This year Aimee Jones, in her 3rd year studying for the BSc Honours degree in Automotive Technology with Management, was awarded second place.
The annual Ford WISE Prize is sponsored by Ford Motor Company and WISE (Women Into Science, Engineering and Construction) and its aim is to recognise outstanding commitment and achievement by female undergraduates in engineering.
This year Aimee Jones, in her 3rd year studying for the BSc Honours degree in Automotive Technology with Management, decided to apply. She spent about 3 months completing the whole application, and shortly afterwards was told she had made it to the interview stage.
A week later Aimee found herself in a hotel room in central London waiting nervously to leave for the dreaded interview but in fact the interview itself went a lot better than she had expected, despite having to face a panel.
The next day Aimee received an email saying she had been selected as one of the four finalists for the Ford WISE Prize. In the end, she came second among the four finalists, which she was pleased with, especially as she had gained some valuable interview experience along the way.
