Taylor's Engineering Fair 2011

CATCH BUDDING ENGINEERS’ INSPIRING INVENTIONS

AT TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY

Impressive showcase of engineering creativity and innovation to open doors to public for the first time

Held on 17and 18 December 2011, the fair is a prestigious platform for the students of Taylor’s University’s School of Engineering (SOE) to showcase their potential, both in the aspects of inventiveness and leadership.

As the pinnacle of their pursuit for engineering ingenuity, the fair requires students of SOE to apply all that they have learnt to conceive, design, implement and operate an engineering project of their own.

"The Engineering Fair provides a focal point, a ‘climax’ for all the efforts that the students have been dedicating for the entire semester,” said Taylor’s SOE Dean Dr Mushtak Al-Atabi.

“Students can also sharpen their communication skills when they present their ideas to a wide range of audience. Those in the organizing committee get a rare opportunity to manage a real-life multi-faceted project. Both of these communications and management skills are as invaluable to a successful engineer as creativity and knowledge,” he said.

The hands-on opportunities that the fair provides are in line with the project-based learning philosophy adopted by Taylor’s University’s School of Engineering.

Programmes at Taylor’s University are designed to be contemporary, students-centered and industry-relevant. With well-equipped labs and highly qualified staff, the University promises a conducive learning environment that encourages creativity and engagement.
