Wim van der Hoek award 2024 at the Precisionfair
The Wim van der Hoek Award is an annual prize awarded to the student with the best graduation project in the field of mechanical engineering. In 2024 the prize will be awarded for the 19th time.
About this event
The prize is intended to bring greater attention to the area of design in mechanical engineering. The name of the prize refers to Emeritus Professor Wim van der Hoek, who from 1962 to
1985 laid the foundations for the unique Dutch method of design in mechanical engineering at
TU Eindhoven.
The ceremony will start at 16:15hours at hall 2 of the Precisionfair.
