GMIT engineering student is CABE Student of the Year

The Chartered Association of Building Engineers has presented Simon O’Grady from Rinneen, Gort, with its annual award for best first student in CABE-accredited programmes in the built environment.

Mr O'Grady, who is now in his second year of the GMIT construction management (honours ) degree programme, received the award for obtaining the highest overall grades across the seven CABE-accredited programmes. The award presentation took place in GMIT last week.

David Courtney, chair of CABE southern Ireland region, formally presented Mr O'Grady with a CABE certificate and bursary of €250 on behalf of CABE.

Mary Rogers, head of the GMIT Department of Building and Civil Engineering, congratulated Simon O'Grady on his great achievement and wished him well with his future studies at GMIT. Mary also thanked CABE for their generous sponsorship of the award and for their ongoing support of GMIT programmes and the Department of Building and Civil Engineering.

CABE was also represented at the outdoor event by Gordan Henderson, longstanding committee member in the region. GMIT currently holds CABE accreditations for seven programmes in the Department of Building and Civil Engineering in the areas of construction management; civil engineering; quantity surveying and building economics; and architectural technology.
