The ICE Papers Competition is an opportunity for young civil engineers to showcase their experience on a chosen topic. Successful winners in each region are then put forward as entrants to the national Papers Competition held ICE Headquarters in London. Not only do entrants have to produce a high quality paper, the judging process requires excellent presentation skills and an in-depth discussion of the topic.

Chairman of the ICE NI Graduates and Students section, Colleen Green said: “We had excellent applications for the competition this year which really showcases how good the student and graduate civil engineers in Northern Ireland are.”

Wendy Blundell, ICE NI Regional Director added: “As an Institution, we offer as much support and development to younger engineers as we can. Participating in competitions teaches graduates and students the skills that can’t be taught in a classroom but are vital for them when entering industry for the first time. Jonathon’s paper was of high quality and we wish him well for the National Competition.”
