“Anything in relation to medical is a profitable business these days. Our research provides insights to companies about this topic. Before beginning any research, I believe it is important to understand and identify the relevance of the topic. It should not only benefit themselves but also the community,” said Teoh.

Siew said, “Time management and multitasking are the key qualities one should possess while doing final year project. Students also need to put in extra efforts when selecting the topics. The topic selected should be able to enhance the public’s knowledge.”

“The biannual Final Year Project Conference, which combines both Poster Competition and 5MP Competition, serves as a platform for some of our final year undergraduate students to showcase their research output to the students and academics. The topics presented were interesting and current to the latest developments in the digital commerce and socio-economic environment. I must say that the students’ efforts are really commendable and praiseworthy,” said FAM Deputy Dean of Academic Development and Undergraduate Programme Dr Hen Kai Wah.

The event was followed by a photography session and a refreshment session.
