In its initiative to encourage participatory and hands-on learning in Engineering and Science, The Institution of Engineering and Technology Malaysia Local Network co-organised with MAHSA University’s Faculty of Engineering and IT the Engineering and Science Students’ Exhibition on 8th January 2019 at the Spine on Level 2 of the Empathy Building of the University. The great significance of this exhibition is that it fosters the acquisition of different skill sets that allow the growth of multiple faculties of intelligence in societal circumstances. 


The exhibition was organised with the key objective of bringing out students’ hidden talents and to create a greater awareness of Engineering and Science. 




The exhibits included displays and presentations from different batches of the Engineering and IT Faculty.  Demonstrations and explanations were given by the participants, and the spectators, including teachers, were greatly impressed by the performances.


Amir and students


A professional talk  by Vice Chairman of The Institution of Engineering and Technology, Ir Amir Farid, was arranged to motivate students in their studies and career development. He commenced his speech by talking about the engineering degree in relation to an engineering career. He also emphasised the fact that reality is sometimes different from expectations. Having had a comprehensive work experience, he told students how to find passion in their engineering careers. Being an elucidating and erudite speaker, he then shared the skills required for a leader to excel in the job.




Finally, in the prize-giving ceremony, winners were commended and participants were rewarded with certificates and mementos.  The awards were as follows:

1. Best Project Award:     Mohamed Sheham Mohamed Abdul Kader with title IOT Based Emergency Power Shutdown Switch for Industrial Machines

2. Best Poster Award:     Zaina M Zaki with title  Advanced Smart Blind Cane 2.0: A Multi directional Sensory Aid


Total number of students participated in the exhibition:    69 engineering students.


To enhance learning and improve assessment performance, students graciously accepted the feedback. The event gave the budding engineers a wonderful opportunity to express their originality and gain self-confidence.

All in all, the Engineering and Science exhibition, including the competition, was a huge success indeed.
