Each year, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ Railway Division holds a competition of technical presentations. The competition is open to all young railway engineers including apprentices, undergraduates, and those in the early stages of their career. Entrants will present to a panel of judges and other attendees in a competition format at the home of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in the heart of Westminster.
Winners of the seven regional heats compete for a prize of £1000. Watch this webinar to hear seven presentations from the winners of our regional heats which give a fascinating insight to work going on within the rail industry across the country, by talented engineers, who are the Future of Rail.
