Engineering students from Gower College Swansea took the top two places at the recent SkillsCompetition Electronics all Wales final.
Niko Leuchtenberg and Matthew Sutch, who are studying towards the Level 3 Diploma in Engineering (Digital Technology) at the Tycoch campus, scooped Gold and Silver respectively at the event at Coleg Cambria.
There were three separate sections to the final – construction of a circuit, prototype of a circuit and a theory examination – which all 15 competitors had to complete within a set time.
“Niko and Matthew – alongside Jack Rees and Alex Hall who also attended the all Wales final – performed brilliantly on the day and were fantastic ambassadors for the college,” says lecturer Steve Williams. “To take Gold and Silver at a prestigious event like this is a huge achievement and the Engineering teaching team are extremely proud of everyone who took part.”
