Second year MEng student Cai Xinrui awarded additional funds by UCL ChangeMakers

We are pleased to announce that our second year MEng student Cai Xinrui has been recently awarded additional funds from UCL ChangeMakers.

UCL ChangeMakers is about collaboration and innovation to enhance the UCL learning experience. Students and staff work together to make changes for the benefit of everyone in the UCL community.

Cai's work is built on creating a media based encyclopedia, which has been picked up by our student AIChE chapter as an annual competition that is also sponsored by DAI. 

In addition, she presented a poster of her work at the ChemEngDay UK 2018conference at Leeds University.

The awarded funds will be used to study the effectiveness of this form of encyclopedia to teach new concepts to our students. Which she hopes can be a good supplement to traditionally delivered lectures.

This experience has increased her interest in continuing her education, and she is seriously considering pursuing a PhD and perhaps an academic career.
