Now in its tenth successive year, the Railway Challenge tasks teams of students, apprentices and young professionals to follow a system engineering process to develop, build and test a railway locomotive that meets specific competition objectives.
We are delighted to announce that the University of Huddersfield’s HudRail team are overall winners of the 2021 Railway Challenge, with the Railway Challenge at Sheffield (RCAS) team from the University of Sheffield taking the runners-up spot and the Alstom & University of Derby team in third place.
IMechE Education Programme Operations Manager Jelena Gacesa notes that "The 2021 Railway Challenge honoured the work of students, apprentices and young professionals in the most challenging of circumstances. Together we celebrated their resilience, problem solving acumen and innovative solutions; reinforcing the importance of practical engineering skills in an increasingly virtual world."
