The Queen Mary Engineers Without Borders society recently hosted a CADathon in partnership with Bentley and the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

Engineering students from universities across the UK took on a design brief, competing for £750 to find a creative and practical solution for commuters juggling laptops, refreshments and security on the go.

Judges from IMechE, Engineers Without Borders and Bentley Systems judged the teams on:

• Design quality & innovation
• Engineering practicality
• Material selection & sustainability
• Presentation & communication

The winning team was Nduka A, Warren Douglas Fernandes, and Andreas Poimenidis who impressed the judges with their innovative and well-executed design.

This event would not have been possible without the incredible efforts of the Queen Mary Engineers Without Borders committee (Kukuuwa Buckman, Umer Asif, Nicole Kirk, Phoebe Asante, Mariyam Mowlana), alongside Rajan Aggarwal and Antoinette Rusoke (IMechE YMP Vice Chair), who all did a phenomenal job bringing everything together.

Rayan Amjad said "What an incredible day it was yesterday - filled with innovation, collaboration, and some of the brightest engineering minds from across London."
