13 February, 2020

Recognition

Chris Rochester, UK director of Primary engineer added: “The Rogers Knight Award plays such an important part in recognising the work extraordinary engineering professionals do around the UK as part of the Primary Engineer Programmes, by allowing teachers to nominate the engineers they have been working with.

“The accolade allows teachers to acknowledge the importance of having inspirational engineers working alongside them and their pupils in the classroom, which would not be possible with the valued support of BCAS and the Rogers Knight Award.”

The Award was inspired by an engineer who lived to the age of 99. Throughout his life, Rogers inspired everyone he met. He was a President of the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS), among many other achievements. The Rogers Knight Award was established in 2015, with the first award presented in November 2016.
