On the 28th November 2013, CIT's Faculty of Engineering & Science held its annual Awards Ceremony, 51 students, across 11 Departments, were honoured for their excellence in a diverse range of disciplines.

Speaking at the Ceremony, Michael Loftus, Head of the Faculty of Engineering & Science, congratulated all who have won prizes during the academic year 2012-2013. “As these prizes are awarded solely on the basis of the results achieved in the academic arena they are highly valued and mark out the recipients as being the best in CIT in their specific areas of study.

The academic journey is seldom travelled in isolation. My colleagues across the faculty work tirelessly to ensure that students are given every chance to succeed. In addition, the families and supporters of our students make vital contributions that are often unseen.”

Mr Loftus also thanked the supporters from industry who sponsor the awards: “Cooperation and engagement with industry has been a differentiating characteristic of the CIT educational experience over many years. We are indebted to the sponsors who have supported the Faculty and we look forward to continuing to develop and deepen those relationships.”

Awards were presented in the Department of Applied Physics & Instrumentation; Department of Chemistry; Department of Biological Sciences; Department of Computing; Department of Civil, Structural & Environmental Engineering; Department of Construction; Department of Architecture; Department of Mechanical, Biomedical & Manufacturing Engineering; Department of Process, Energy & Transport Engineering; Centre of Craft Studies and the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering.
