The Engineering Council is inviting entries for this year's Environment Award for Engineers. There are three entry classes in the 2001 awards. 'Engineering in the Natural Environment' recognises projects that encourage native species and habitats to flourish, while 'Sustainable Engineering' covers solutions which provide better energy use, improved environmental performance through lower emissions, improved use of resources and long-term financial viability.
The final category, 'Engineering Alternatives', is designed to recognise talent within alternative technologies and techniques, such as innovation in the transport, energy and the construction sectors. The overall winner will receive £5,000, with winners of individual classes getting £3,000. Entry is open to individual engineers or technicians who are full members of one of the engineering institutions affiliated to the council, or by a team that includes at least one full member.
Closing date for entries is Thursday 17 May.
