The fourth programme was GENERIC where visitors could witness the young engineers completing the task by inventing their own devices. Then, the WOVEC programme was held two days where the visitors could see the young engineers challenging the ability to design and present their invention in a creative way.
The programmes prepared by the organiser had not only attracted students from the Kuliyyah of Engineering but also students from other Kuliyyah to experience the cool stuff from the engineering world. Many of them were amazed.
As Nur Hazira Zahid, a political science student said: œI think this exhibition is a must attend programme. It is not only for engineering students but also for all. At least each one of us can get to know about others courses, what they learned about so that we will not make a judgment on others courses or felt biased.
œAs one of the committee members, I am satisfied with this event because it benefited all students regardless their courses,” Nur Najihah Abd Rani, an engineering student said.
Nazzura Yussof, a law student majoring in civil law said: œThrough this event, I got to know other people and make friend. Students from various courses who attended this event were eager to know and explore the engineering field.” Â ***
