2023 WINNERS

Karen Metry Mekhail

Computer Engineering Student

"To me engineering is striving to perfection in everything we do. To take the best that exists and make it better, and when it does not exist, we design it. There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind. I believe that, as engineers, we turn dreams into reality."

UCLA

Polina Maller

Civil Engineering Student

"I chose to be an engineer to explore the world around me; to recognize, appreciate and design the little details that make everything work. Thank you to Progressive Automations for this opportunity to pursue my future in engineering by supporting my passion in creating."

Lehigh University

This year, we decided to take it even further and encourage our Scholarship applicants to make a real-world impact with their engineering skills!

Instead of simply proposing an engineering project,

we invite you to take on a thrilling challenge and develop a project that aligns with our company's social responsibility goals to FOSTER INCLUSIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY IN PUBLIC SPACES.

You will have a chance to directly contribute to your community and create a positive change by using your engineering talents!

Your project could:

- Make a contribution to constructing an accessible playground with equipment designed for children with disabilities;

- Promote accessibility enhancement in public parks and recreational areas;

- Address other challenges of people with limited mobility by demonstrating passion and commitment to positively impacting the community.

Unleash your creativity
and problem-solving skills
to make a real difference!

Show us
how your project will bring about
a lasting impact and transform lives.

    passion for the field, your personal achievements, your
    educational expectations for the future and what you think the next ten years of your professional life will look like!

  • Utilize the Linear Actuator for Your Design

    Your engineering innovation is something we crave to learn more about. Using our electric linear actuators and corresponding products as your basis, we want you to describe or design an inventive project related to social responsibility. These don’t have to be ground-breaking technologies – they can be as simple as you like. Points are scored for creative-thinking and inventiveness!
