Novelty and Originality of Student Project Work Manifested in Final Year Project Competition 2018

The Final Year Project Competition 2018 was successfully held on 30 April 2018. A total of 30 projects entered semi-final of the competition which was a poster session. All semi-finalists were that enthusiastic and professional in introducing their innovative and novel ideas in their project works. Six of them were immediately selected after the semi-final to compete in the final round held on the same day.

The judging team this year involve six guests from industry. They are:
