In April, South African Instrumentation and Control announced the award of the first Ray Beaumont technology scholarship to Yokogawa C&I internee, Merone Ramuhashi (http://instrumentation.co.za/38312n). Since then we have received progress reports from her that impressed the team to the extent that we decided it would be beneficial to publish these online. We hope they inspire other young engineers to join the profession.
