The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) North East has recognised a Durham graduate's work on renewable energy generation by awarding a prize for his efforts.
Earlier this year, Will Coombs graduated with a First Class MEng Honours degree in General Engineering at Durham University. As part of his work in the final year of the programme, Will undertook a project which focused on micro-hydro electricity generation in the Lake District. His course leaders were so impressed with the standard of his work that he was nominated for the annual ICE North East award - which he won.
