Gold EDGE Awards
Three Year 2 students from the Engineering programme at REEdI were awarded the prestigious Gold EDGE Award through the university’s graduate development framework. Congratulations to Liam Tangney, Christian Karamagi and Jia Chyen Queek on this outstanding achievement. The EDGE programme recognises students’ engagement in extra- and co-curricular activities that build essential personal and professional skills. Earning the Gold award reflects their dedication, initiative and commitment to going beyond academic requirements.
Engineering Challenge 2
Our first-year students exceeded expectations with their innovative group designs and impressive robotic machines. As part of a recent challenge, many teams successfully engineered solutions capable of pulling a 1kg chain up a 6-inch pipe. The creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving on display highlighted the strong foundation these students are building in their engineering journey.
