The Faculty of Engineering and Green Technology (FEGT) and the Institution
of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) Student Section at UTAR Kampar Campus
co-organised a Final Year Project (FYP) Poster Competition on 2 September
2015.
Held for the second time, the biennial competition aimed to showcase all FYP
output as well as to cultivate research interests amongst FEGT students.
With the sponsorship by IEM, the competition saw 82 ground-breaking entries
with researches ranging from green building to sustainable engineering.
Invited to judge the competition were IEM Perak Branch Chairman Ir Lau Win
Sang, IEM Young Engineers Section (YES) Perak Branch Chairman Engr Chow Kok
Sun and FEGT Department of Industrial Engineering lecturer Ir K.
Chandrasekaran a/l Krishnan.
Of all the entries, 15 posters were first shortlisted by the FEGT
departments, namely the Department of Construction Management, Department of
Electronic Engineering, Department of Environmental Engineering, Department
of Industrial Engineering and Department of Petrochemical Engineering. This
was followed by a presentation session whereby the judging team was tasked
to handpick three Best Posters.
Petrochemical Engineering student Sandip Singh’s FYP titled “Optimization of
Biodiesel Production via Reflux Condenser Methyl Acetate Reaction from
Cerbera Odollam (Sea Mango)” won him the first place while Environmental
Engineering student Connie Chong Tung and Petrochemical Engineering student
