OMO profile essay award
Every student makes a profile paper for their final exam. Students choose the topic themselves. They work together in pairs. This year, many fine profile papers were submitted on a wide variety of subjects. A number of these papers were nominated for the OMO profile paper award, including the paper by Niels and Joris.
For their profile paper, Joris Verrijt and Niels de Haan from 5havo did research at the company Knapen Trailers B.V. into the ergonomic conditions of people on the shop floor. Knapen Trailers is a company that builds trailers for trucks. Niels and Joris recommended possible improvements to the company. Joris: "A study into the ergonomic working environment fits well with our chosen further study. I myself want to study mechanical engineering. Niels is going to do business administration. Niels: 'For us this was a great opportunity to support Knapen Trailers towards a better and safer working environment and to learn more about ergonomics.'
Wednesday, June 12, Niels and Joris learned that they had been nominated. Thursday, June 27, they received the third prize. Congratulations to Joris and Niels on this well-deserved award. We are proud of you!
