IPET aims to reward engineering students for academic excellence and the award is the highest honour that an engineering student at a University of Technology in South Africa can achieve at BTech level. It is therefore a highly sought after award.
The IPET awards for 2011/12 were held at the Southern Sun OR Tambo Hotel.
Ms Anna-Marie Basson (neé Claassen), former Industrial Engineering student at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) and wela member was awarded the IPET National Top BTech Engineering graduate award.
