On 18 January this year the annual Bachelor Prize Awards ceremony took place at the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH). The prizes are given to students with an outstanding performance.
Adam Beck, Eduard Eichner, and Lorenz Streckmann were honoured for the best bachelor degree in their respective courses of study - Bioprocess Engineering, Process Engineering and Power and Environmental Engineering.

Representatives of the three companies GEA Brewery Systems, Dow Deutschland and Hamburg Energie presented the prizes established by Professor Andreas Liese and worth € 1,000 each during the lecture "Engineering Mechanics I" given by Professor Uwe Weltin in the presence of the dean professor Stefan Heinrich in the lecture hall Audimax II.

Award for outstanding performance

The Bioprocess Engineering student Adam Beck from Hamburg, who was awarded the prize donated by GEA Brewery Systems, presented the Bachelor Prize by Kristina Böe, Technical Director of GEA Brewery Systems Büchen and Process Engineering alumna of the TUHH.

At the age of four Adam Beck, born 1988 in Kazakhstan, came to Germany, where he grew up and went to school near Bielefeld. He never perceived his migration background as limiting, although he admits to "have sometimes worked harder than the average to disprove the cliché that university studies are too difficult for migrants."

Now Adam is enrolled in a Master's program in process engineering. His next goal is to study a semester abroad, preferably at the University of Berkeley. Adam is an athletic engineering student with a wide variety of interests. He likes climbing and hiking, plays basketball or relaxes with yoga. But he is no less interested in philosophy, art, sociology and psychology.
