Honeywell has expanded its annual Asia Pacific Honeywell Users' Group (HUG) Student Competition. Students in Asia Pacific are challenged to use the Honeywell UniSimDesign Suite to create a process design that could solve a critical plant business issue. Efficiency, productivity, reliability, safety and the environment are just some of the issues students need to consider when developing their solutions.
A committee made up of experts in the field will select the winning team, who, together with the sponsoring tutor, will attend the HUG conference being held at Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Australia in August 2012, where they will present their project. This year, five consolation prizes will also be awarded. The winning students and their sponsoring tutors will be able to attend their choice of one of two advanced UniSimDesign training courses.
The India winner and the sponsoring tutor will be awarded with an all-expense paid trip to one of the Honeywell sites in India for an advanced UniSimDesign training course. Upon completion of the course the student and the tutor will be offered a training certification. Submissions should be made online using a 300-word abstract and PowerPoint presentation, and must include details of the experiment, describe why the approach is innovative and the main benefits of the project. The deadline for receipt of the submission is 30 April 2012.
Tony Cosgrove, VP, Asia Pacific, Honeywell Process Solutions said, "The HUG student competition presents a valuable opportunity to help promote the manufacturing industry's up and coming talent. The importance of exposing students to new and exciting ways of critical thinking to meet real-world problems ensures the newest and freshest ideas and innovations are captured to help grow and transform the industry."
