The Templin Scroll

The Templin Scroll Competition is held annually to recognise the academic writing and presentation skills of any student who is taking a regular course of study at the School of Engineering who is a financial member of the Engineering Society. The Templin Scroll Award was donated to the Society in 1941. This was followed by the further donation of the Templin Prize in 1945.

The subject matter may embrace any aspect of engineering or applied science, technical, economic or human. The paper shall be written in a form suitable for publication or for submission as a project or design report, but postgraduate students may not present a paper directly relating to their field of research. It shall be the author’s own work (a bibliography should be appended) and presented by the student.

The Templin Scroll shall be awarded for the best written and presented paper. The Templin Prize shall be awarded for the best written paper (with preference given to technical papers). The winner of the Templin Scroll shall not be eligible for the award of the Templin Prize. A third prize may be awarded as funds allow. This is at the discretion of the judges and Engineering Society; it shall be decided according to the prize pool and quality of submissions.
