LKCFES FYP Poster Competition

The Lee Kong Chian Faculty of Engineering and Science (LKCFES) at UTAR Sungai Long Campus organised the first-ever Final Year Project (FYP) Poster Competition on 13th April 2016.

Held for the very first time, this competition aimed to give an opportunity for the FYP students to showcase their talent, skills and creative ideas through their projects as well as to cultivate research interests among them.
