The Engineering Council was represented by Colin Chapman at a St James's Palace reception in November, where winners of the Queen's Anniversary Prizes for Higher and Further Education were announced.

Colin was nominated by the Engineering Council in 2006 as an assessor, and has participated in the last two biennial examinations of submissions for the UK's most prestigious educational awards.  Colin adds value to the judging process as a Chartered Engineer who is involved in maintaining standards, as well as having an interest in academic achievement.

Around 20 prizes are awarded to universities and colleges across the UK every two years for work of outstanding excellence within higher and further education.
