In the scope of the CTI Symposium „Innovative Automotive Transmissions and Hybrid & Electric Drives“ the „Young Drive Experts Award“ was conferred the third time.
The Young Drive Experts Award rewards young engineers who have examined questions relating to drive and transmission technology as part of their studies. The award aims to encourage newcomers to keep up the good work in this interesting and important sector in the future. At the same time, the symposium brings tomorrow’s experts and today‘s performers together to ensure that innovative ideas can be put into practice.
This year five young engineers won the CTI Young Drive Experts Award. On 6 December 2011 the authors of one master thesis, two diploma and two PhD theses were awarded in Berlin. In the following we are presenting the winners.
In December 2012 during the 11th CTI Symposium again young engineers will be awarded for their outstanding works.
Visions of innovative transmission and drive technology
The academic newcomers will be presenting their research findings to an expert audience. The transmissions and drive landscape is sure to benefit from their new ideas and fresh impulses!
Free participation and presentation of the theses
at the CTI Symposium for the winner!
An independent panel of experts will select and award the most interesting papers of 2012. Winners are invited to attend the two main days of the Symposium (4 and 5 December 2012) free of charge. They will present their findings personally in the form of posters at the specialist exhibition ’Transmission Expo’. This can be an excellent starting point for a promising career in the auto industry!
