From Renault F1 Team
The final of the 2009 Altran Engineering Academy (AEA) took place this week at the ING Renault F1 Team's Technical Centre in Enstone, England.
Twenty-two year-old Helen Makey from the UK crossed the finish line first with her project aimed at enhancing energy efficiency using moveable aerodynamics and will join the team for a six-month placement later this year. Helen, who has a passion for karting and road rally events, is a MEng in Mechanical Engineering and was a team leader in the Formula Student competition.
Following in the footsteps of her predecessors, Helen will commence her placement in Enstone in September working in the Research and Development department of the Renault F1 Team under Dr. Robin Tuluie, the department head. Salary, accommodation and a Renault company car will be part of the well-earned prize offered by Altran, Total and ING Renault F1 Team.
The eight other candidates from Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland also impressed the jury headed by Dr. Robin Tuluie.
