Award organisers said Mr Foster was nominated for his outstanding application and achievement in his studies.
The award, in its twelfth year, is named to perpetuate the memory of the late Norman Barr who was a long-standing member of the Rotary Club and past president.
Mr Barr had a keen interest in the electrical and electronics areas.
