Frank Taggart, recipient of an IET Belling engineering grant

Frank Taggart, a MEng student in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, has been awarded a prestigious Belling engineering grant by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Set up in memory of the late Charles Reginald Belling, the cash bursaries are awarded to high achieving students in Electronic and Electrical Engineering entering their final year of study.

Frank is a key member of the student body within the school, being a peer mentor and class representative, in addition to his studies.

Speaking on his award Frank said “I am delighted to have been awarded a Belling Scholarship from the IET. The prize will go a long way in supporting me through my final year of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Queens. The application required me to demonstrate my commitment towards promoting engineering within the community, support of my peers and evidence that I am a potential future leader. With the benefit of this scholarship I look forward to completing my final year of my MEng and obtaining graduate employment in 2013.”

Frank attended St Mary’s Grammar School in Magherafelt before coming to Queen’s University Belfast to study Electronics and Electrical Engineering
