Four students who have just completed the Mechanical Engineering Technology - Robotics and Automation program at Conestoga College have each received $100 in recognition of their excellent project work in the final year of study, thanks to the generosity of Michael Lindert, owner and president of Cambridge-based Lindert Tool and Die.
Students in the three-year, co-op program completed at the end of August. Of the more than 60 students in the class, the four winners of the Lindert Awards were recognized for the most outstanding project work, based on criteria of completeness and originality.
