UTAR IET On Campus 2015-2016 Chairperson Lai Jia Shern said, “I wish to thank all the committee members for their contributions and Assoc Prof Lim Soo King for his continuous supports throughout the year. Team recruiting is not an easy task and being the president, my task was to lead the team to success and make UTAR proud. What we have learnt from textbooks is only a part of what we will be practising in the real world. Therefore, UTAR IET On Campus regularly organises industry visits, talks, seminars and more to help engineering students to understand and get an overview of the real engineering world. I hope UTAR IET On Campus will continue growing stronger in future.”

“This award will motivate the UTAR IET On Campus 2016-2017 committee members to perform better and organise more quality events in future. We hope that students will be able to acquire useful skills and knowledge through our events,” said UTAR IET On Campus 2016-2017 Chairperson Quah Hui Ping.
