\u2022 Blundell\u2019s School project team worked with local power supply manufacturer<\/p>\n

TDK Corporation is pleased to announce a team of AS-Level pupils at Blundell\u2019s School working with TDK-Lambda UK has not only qualified for their Engineering Education Scheme (EES) certificates but also for the GOLD Crest Award, which is widely recognised and respected by UCAS for university admissions in STEM subjects. <\/p>\n

Run by the Engineering Development Trust (EDT), the EES scheme links teams of A-Level students with local companies to work on STEM-related projects. Following on from last year\u2019s Wind Tunnel project, the project this year was to establish a method for measuring the carbon footprint of TDK-Lambda UK\u2019s production facility in Ilfracombe.<\/p>\n

\"Blundells<\/a>

The Blundell's team worked alongside Product Performance Manager, Adrian Irwin (pictured right) who offered advice and assistance to the pupils whenever needed.<\/p><\/div>\n

The 4 person team from Blundell’s worked alongside Product Performance Manager, Adrian Irwin who offered advice and assistance to the pupils whenever needed: \u201cThe project team went way beyond their remit, which was to provide a measurement and display method of calculating our facility\u2019s carbon footprint. The team provided some good ideas for improvement activities that we may take further.\u201d<\/p>\n

Early on in the project, the team worked closely with Tim Puttick, Environment Manager: \u201cThe main take-home from the project was to establish and work as a successful team. The knowledge they gained about CO2 emissions, how they are calculated and what the figures represent is invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Puttick adds: \u201cThe team was very inquisitive \u2013 they did think about where to go next with the results. It wasn\u2019t just a case of submitting their findings, they did very well to take the data that we had and convert it into meaningful information.\u201d<\/p>\n
