Awards

National Project Excellence Awards in Automation, Control and Instrumentation (ACI)

The National Project Excellence Awards are run biennially and aim to recognise outstanding applications of Automation, Control & Instrumentation. The objectives of the Awards include the promotion of better engineering through encouraging applications of ACI, which are cost effective, commercially viable while providing demonstrable environmental, safety and social benefits to Australia.

The National Project Excellence Awards provide maximum exposure to the winning organisation/s via media releases and articles in the Engineering Australia magazine.

The presentation of the award will be made at a suitable occasion of Engineers Australia. The prizes themselves will comprise plaques, medals and certificates for the owners, the engineers and if appropriate, the constructors and/or project managers.

There are two categories for entry: Category 1 'Major Projects' for team projects where person time required for the project is larger than 10 person years. Category 2 'Regular Projects' for smaller team projects or individual projects where person time required for the project involves less than 10 person years of effort. Young engineers are especially encouraged to submit applications under category 2.

2010 Winner

The 2010 Undergraduate Thesis Prize in Automation, Control and Instrumentation was awarded to a group of students from the University of Adelaide whose project entitled "Micycle - Self balancing Electric Unicycle" presented a balance between literature review, design work, testing and evaluation, that resulted in a convincing delivery of the final product. Supervised by Dr. Ben Cazzoloto, David Caldecott, Andrew Edwards, Matthew Haynes, Miroslav Jerbic, Andrew Kadis and Rhys Madigan produced an undergraduate thesis that truly embodied the aspects the NCACI stand for.
