● Degree seeks to inspire new generation of
building services/public health engineers
James Day, an AECOM engineer, was awarded a
newly established bursary for the promotion of
public health engineering, at the annual Worshipful
Company of Plumbers (WCoP) dinner.
The Alexander Marsh Bursary will enable Day
to complete two detailed case studies of projects
that have helped maintain the good health of
communities worldwide. Day will then use this
work to inform a presentation to schools to explain
and promote the importance of public health
engineering.
Last June, Day became the fi rst graduate of the
new BEng Hons in Public Health Engineering
Technology degree, from the University of
Greenwich. The degree syllabus, which was

The Centre for Sustainable Energy
has published the complete
dataset of the 40,000 public

The data has been collected by
the Department of Communities
and Local Government following

The degree, the

UK, seeks to train
and inspire a new
generation of public
health engineers.
‘It is an honour to have been awarded the
Alexander Marsh bursary,’ said Day. ‘I hope the
case studies really help to promote the value of
public health engineering, and building services
