Brooks Instruments will be once again offering an engineering scholarship to undergraduate students enrolled in an engineering program at an accredited college or university. The scholarship offers $2,000 to a candidate who shows potential for leadership and interest in engineering, particularly as it relates to instrumentation, fluid mechanics and flow or pressure measurement .
Brooks Instruments has been in business since 1946, becoming a leader in precision fluid measurement and control technology. Providing instrumentation for flow, pressure and vaporization, the company serves customers in semi-conductor manufacturing, fiber optic and thin film manufacturing, solar cell, LED, alternative energy, oil and gas refining; chemical and petrochemical research; and pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceuticals. Serving clients in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, Brooks Instruments has the world’s largest installed base of mass flow controllers.
Brooks Instruments introduced the scholarship in 2018 to help exceptional students and help them further their engineering career. In 2018, Etienne Jackson, a Fire Protection Engineer studying at the University of Maryland, was awarded the scholarship. When asked about the project, Jackson recognized the amount of work his team put in and the challenges they faced. “This project has revealed issues that engineers go through when attempting to design a product. When a failing idea is brought up, it is important for the idea to be tested, so that more ideas can be tested until the best one is found.”
The application requires a personal essay as well as a project review, proposal, lab work or other endeavors that give a detailed description of a process involving some degree of instrumentation, flow or measurement. To qualify for the scholarship, the project, research or investigation must incorporate flow, fluid mechanics and/or pressure measurement as an integral part of the process or data recording. Additionally, students must upload a copy of their transcript. This scholarship is open to any student who is living in the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico as a U.S. citizen or hold a Permanent Residency status.
Applications must be received by October 31, 2019. For scholarship details and requirements, visit https://www.brooksinstrument.com/en/about-us/scholarship.
