Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMU-Q) recognised 15 high school students for their winning projects during two research competitions - the Secondary School Research Experience Programme and the Intel Science Competition Arab World 2014.
The winning projects were displayed during the Science and Engineering Showcase at the Link Atrium of the campus. The ceremony was presided over by Dr Mark H Weichold, dean and CEO, TAMU-Q.
“We are proud to feature your outstanding winning projects from the Secondary School Research Experience Programme and 5th Intel Science Competition Arab World 2014,” Dr Weichold said.
“Because of the students’ innovation and perseverance, we saw those award-winning, thought-provoking and inventive projects last week. Those winning projects illustrate how these concepts are fundamental in engineering the world around us and making it a better place,” he added.
The competitions this year were intense and made students employ their best interview and presentation skills to compete with more than 100 students from nine countries across Mena.
TAMU-Q students, faculty and staff attended the showcase of winning projects to support and encourage these
outstanding students.
