HATFIELD, Pa. (June 28, 2019) - Brooks Instrument, a world leader in advanced flow, pressure, vacuum and vapor delivery solutions, will once again offer an engineering scholarship for undergraduate students enrolled in an engineering program at an certified college or university. The program was introduced in 2018 to reward exceptional students and help them pursue their career. The scholarship offers $2,000 to a candidate who shows potential for leadership and interest in engineering, particularly as it associates to instrumentation, fluid mechanics and flow or pressure measure.
To apply, students should visit https://www.brooksinstrument.com/en/about-us/scholarship. The application requires a personal essay as well as a project review, proposal, lab work or other endeavors that give a thorough description of a procedure involving some degree of instrumentation, flow or measurement. To qualify for the scholarship, the project, research or investigation must include flow, fluid mechanics and/or pressure measurement as an integral part of the process or data recording. The project can also be about the use or development of a novel pressure or flow measurement method or technique. In addition, students must upload a copy of their transcript.
In 2018, Brooks Instrument awarded this scholarship to Etienne Jackson, a Fire Protection Engineer studying at the University of Maryland. When recounting on his project that won him the scholarship, Jackson acknowledged his teams' successes as well as the difficulties they faced.
'This project has uncovered issues that engineers go through when attempting to layout a product. When a failing idea is brought up, it is crucial for the idea to be tried, so that more ideas can be tested until the best one is revealed.'
Students like Jackson show a dedicated interest in this field and are leading the way as the next generation of engineers.
