We offer two annual prizes to up and coming Engineers.
The Reginald V Jones prize is a trophy awarded to the best team effort in the Schools building challenge
competition of the annual Aberdeen Techfest, the criteria being the best ingenuity, innovation, observation and
precision. The prize is named after the late Professor R. V. Jones, Honarary President of the Society for many
years, who was intimately concerned with design and sensitive performance for the whole of his professional life
as a scientific instrument innovator.

| In 2000, the R V Jones prize was awarded for the first time to team 2 of the Aberdeen Grammar School, seen here with their teacher Trevor Jones receiving the trophy from AMS president Sandy Mess. The team of Judith Swanson, Rose Grogan, Jennifer Garden and Jeremy Watt won with their model crane. | In 2001, the RV Jones prize was awarded to St Machar Academy for constructing the most ingenious floating platform in keeping with the competition rules. Their team were Alison Hunter, Anna Koudeleva, Alison Law and Amy Myatt, organised by teacher Patricia Angus. They are seen above receiving the prize from AMS president Sandy Mess. |
The AMS certificate and prize is awarded to the best second year student in Mechanical Engineering in year 2 of the RGU course.
In 2000, the certificate and prize was awarded to Robert Stephen, shown left being presented by President Sandy
