The design of the trophy is inspired by the structure of chemical bonds, symbolising the essence of engineering excellence. Just as chemical bonds form the foundation of nature, engineering is built on the connection of ideas, innovation, and collaboration. Engineers, like the bonds in a molecule, combine materials, knowledge, and creativity to create something extraordinary.​

This trophy represents the unity and powerful connections that drive groundbreaking solutions. Awarding it to the best engineer honours their ability to bring these elements together in the pursuit of progress, reflecting the strength, complexity, and transformative power that engineering brings to the world.​
