Hints to help you undertake a Transpower Neighbourhood Engineers Awards Project

This feature outlines the steps you should follow and what the judges are looking for, demonstrated by examples from previous winning projects. By ensuring your project covers the six points below you will have met the key areas the judges are looking for.

Keeping a record ensures the journey through your project is captured. Connecting with your engineer early enables efficient use of stakeholders’ time and reduces the possibility of you going off track. Your engineer is a helpful resource in assisting with identifying your need or issues to be solved. Creating a timeline is a helpful tool for keeping all involved on track and connected to your project aims. Writing a brief ensures the issue you wish to address is stated in a nutshell, with specifications that define the requirements of a technological outcome. With your brief as your guide, work through the project. At the conclusion of your work ensure that the documentation is complete and sent to IPENZ National Office by 5pm Monday 22nd October 2012 for judging.
