Innovative Student Engineer National Finals
Engineers Ireland HQ
Congratulations to Robert Laffan of LIT, whose autism communication enablement device designed and developed for his four year old daughter, Sadie, has won the Innovative Student Engineer National Finals here in Dublin. Robert presented a most engaging and inspiring story of the development of this enablement device and what it means in general and in personalised terms to both Sadie and all her family. One could not think of a more worthy application.
Congratulations also to CIT's Emma O'Leary, Kelly Lane, Nicolle Dunphy and Damien Dennehy who represented CIT with the greatest distinction throughout a very long day from early morning to late evening of interview, exhibition, and presentation before a very large attendance.
Emma, Kelly, Nicolle and Damien received the highest praise and commendation from the distinguished adjudication panel and were presented with the highly prestigious and hugely deserved Engineers Ireland Innovative Student Engineer National Finalist Awards.
Emma, Kelly, Nicolle and Damien are truly a great credit to themselves, their families, their supervisors and their college.
CIT held the distinction at the National Finals of being the only college with two projects short- listed.
