FYP Poster Competition & Industry Interaction Day
The Lee Kong Chian Faculty of Engineering and Science (LKC FES) Final Year Project (FYP) Committee
and External Relationship Committee (ERC) together with Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM)
Student Chapter organised an FYP poster competition and Industry Interaction Day on 28 August 2019
at UTAR Sungai Long Campus.

The biannual competition saw a total of 116 FYP posters showcased among the 400 posters submitted
under 9 categories. With only 10 minutes allocated, the participants were required to impress the
judges with their projects as well as presentation skills for a chance to win prizes worth more than
RM3,000. The event aimed to encourage students to pursue research excellence and cultivate
creativity. It helps to prepare and expose the students to a real competitive environment, inside and
outside the campus. It also helps them realise their strengths and weaknesses and move forward to
face the real competitive environment. This event will not only enable the students to bring forward
their potential in the form of quality work but also provide an opportunity to other batches of students
to get new ideas and thoughts regarding final year projects. Besides, the competition also aimed to
create a platform for the students to interact with the industry and give them exposure to the current
criteria and requirements of the industry. Many industries were invited to set-up booths to promote
two-way interaction. The industries got an opportunity to know what our students were working on,
while at the same time, the students got an opportunity to know what was in demand and required
by the industry”. In addition, students get an opportunity to meet with industry experts from frontier
engineering and frontier technologies who also conduct walk-in interviews during the event. This
exposes our students to exciting career prospects and provides an opportunity to secure their jobs
even before graduation.
The Industry Interaction Day saw the participation of 31 companies, namely China Construction
Engineering (S.E.A) Malaysia Sdn Bhd, EMP Wealth Solution, Goal Achievers Sdn Bhd (AIA), GS Realty
Sdn Bhd (Real Team Elite), Sanjung Khas Sdn Bhd, Wise AI, Greatech Integration (M) Sdn Bhd, Amkor

Most Liked Poster Award
Most Liked Poster Award Recipient: Chong Weng Cing, “Nature Educational Park”
Grand Prize Recipient: Kho Yi Yung
Track 1 winner and Most Liked Poster Award recipient Chong Weng Cing said, “I didn’t expect to win
as many of them did better in terms of designing the poster and providing information. When the
track 1 champion was announced, I was shocked and felt lucky to be the winner. Same goes to the
announcement for the most liked poster award. I’d like to thank my lecturers for their guidance and
the judges for giving me constructive feedback. Now, I will be able to improve my design. I’m grateful
to have won two awards at the same time.”
Track 2 Champion Ho Zi Xuan said, “I feel happy to be able to share this joy and achievement with my
supervisor and my family. My ultimate goal was to deliver the idea of my design through this poster
without any verbal explanation. This competition has taught me to believe in myself and accept my
effort. I tend to look down on the quality of my works, but my family kept supporting me and they
told me how good my work was. It's really a wonderful thing to be able to accept myself. I believe I
won this competition because I was able to explain the complicated systems in a much simpler way.”
Track 3 Champion Lim Zi Feng said, “I am very happy to have won this competition. It feels great to
have my effort recognised. The process of designing the template and compiling my work was a fun
and interesting experience. The competition gave me a new experience whereby I was able to share
my thought process and sell my ideas to strangers. It was also a good opportunity to interact with
people from the industry. Hard work is the secret to my success.”
Track 4 Champion Lee Kar Hing said, “It feels great to have won this competition. This is the very
moment you realise that all the hard work you put in for the duration of 10 months is finally paid off.
My supervisor, Dr Lim Boon Han's unreserved criticism while reviewing my project is one of my
secrets to winning this competition. He is rather frank and he gives me advice without any sort of
biasness. He taught me many things both about the prototype and my attitude towards the project.”
Track 5 Champion Edward Chee Wei Jie said, “Hard work pays off. I am thankful for my supervisor’s
guidance and coursemates’ support throughout the project. I practised by talking to myself in the
mirror to build up my confidence. I’m glad cos I’ve learnt speaking and interaction skills through this
competition. Being confident all the time, especially while answering questions from the judges
would be my secret to success.”
Track 7 Champion Yong Cherng Liin said, “I am very happy. It is truly an honour to receive this award.
I spent most of my time in front of my computer and consulting my supervisor to obtain optimum
results for this competition. I also consulted my coursemates, who advised me on my presentation
skills. This competition taught me how to deliver my works in the most interesting way. I think the
secret of my success is the enormous support I gained from my supervisor and coursemates.”
Wong Chee Yi, the champion of Track 8 said, “I was surprised because it was unexpected. And now I
am very happy because I worked very hard and studied my FYP in detail. Every time I come across
difficulties I would look for my FYP Advisor Dr Lee Yee Ling to guide me through it. She is very helpful
and kind. I’m grateful to have found a lecturer like her. This competition taught me confidence and it
helped to improve my presentation skills. My secret to success is hard work and confidence.”
Kimberly Lau Su Wenn, the champion of Track 9 said, “I believe this is an achievement for me before
graduating. Although it might not be a huge competition, I am extremely happy and honoured to have
won this competition. I have always liked designing although I’m not from the creative faculty. It has
been a great pleasure to finally put my creativity into something that could make it shine. Despite
juggling between preparations for the upcoming exams and current events, it is still a fun journey as I
get to experience something different from the usual presentation in the classroom.”
MDT Innovations Best Project Award was won by a team of LKC FES students, namely Miow Xie Cherng,
Benny Law, Cheah Kai Yuen, and Saw Jian Jing. One of the team members Miow said, “I was really
surprised when they announced my team as the winner of the MDT Innovations Best Project Award.
My team and I couldn’t contain our excitement when we found out that we were selected for the
competition. We had put in our best effort to make the product more productive. I believe the secret
of our success lies in our ability to assemble teammates from different backgrounds with different
expertise.”
The winner of MDT Innovations Best Graduate Award and BEM Award of Academic Excellence for the
Best Engineering Graduate, Chong Kwang Liang said, “I am glad that I have received this reward after
four years of studying at UTAR. It is a great recognition for me and I did not expect to win it. It is my
four years’ worth of cumulative effort. Always work hard and work smart. Also, never give up even if
you did not achieve what you wanted. Try your best again so that you can achieve the best outcome
the next time. Time management is the major key in achieving good academic results.”

The organisers of this event said, “We encourage students to work on industry-related projects, where
they get an opportunity to explore frontier engineering and frontier technologies such as 4th Industry
Revolution, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security. At the same time, we hope students
apply the knowledge gained through study, experience, and practice together with judgment.”
LKC FES appreciates all those who have contributed to this event, congratulates all winners, and looks
forward to the next event in April 2020.
