Student Awards, UNSW Engineering

Established in 2010, the UNSW Engineering Student Service Awards reward and encourage exceptional and outstanding service by students for the student community.

There are up to three awards (Team or Individual) given each year – depending on merit. Award winners receive an official certificate recognizing the achievement, an entry on the AHEGS, and prize money (in 2015, the Awards were valued at $1,000 each).

The Awards celebrate an exceptional and outstanding service to the UNSW or Faculty student community, and look at the following:

• An exceptional and outstanding achievement or success
• Outstanding service to the UNSW or Faculty student community, like organising a large student event or ongoing involvement in mentoring
• An outstanding or novel initiative which has been implemented, like improvements to student communications
• Any work significantly promoting collaborative relations with external organisations
• Participation in working groups for the improvement of UNSW.
