Young IOA members scoop top ANC prizes

摘要

ANC President Sue Bird presented two prizes to IOA members at the joint IOA/ANC conferences dinner in Birmingham in November. The first, for the best project report by a student studying for the Institute's Diploma in Acoustics and Noise Control, was awarded to Richard Shears, from Exeter City Council. Richard's project was entitled "An extreme environment stethoscope" and subtitled "Is it possible to adapt a stethoscope in order to significantly mitigate background noise interference to enable accurate auscultation in noisy environments?" There were 10 projects reviewed by the ANC Board for this award and this was the clear winner. Richard chose as his prize the latest edition of Acoustics and Noise Control and also received a cheque from ANC.
