The University of Macau’s (UM) Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) held the Dean’s Final Year Project List Presentation Ceremony and Project Exhibition 2014 on 27 June. The event aimed to recognise outstanding graduates and showcase what the students accomplished after four years of study. More than 100 people attended the event, including industry practitioners, students, and local residents.
This year, a total of 60 projects were exhibited. These projects were developed by students from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Department of Computer and Information Science, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Department of Electromechanical Engineering; and they cover such areas as structural, environmental and hydraulic engineering; computer graphics and visual computing; software engineering; biomedical engineering; power engineering; automotive engineering; and human factors engineering. At the exhibition, some students also presented their design concepts and gave on-site demonstration. Prof Tam Kam Weng, associate dean (research and graduate studies) of the FST said that the exhibition not only provided a platform for students to interact with industry practitioners, but it also served as a window for the industry to know more about the students’ talents and skills. Prof Tam said these in turn could help to improve the level of education and research at the FST.

Students who made the list this year are Chen Yue, Shao Qihan, Luo Shiming, Wong Ka Hou, and Lei Ka Hou from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering; Ao Chi Hong, Choi Chi Ian, Ng Chon Kit, Ao Ieong Kit Ha, Ho Sin Nga, Ng Kin Tek, Cheong Meng Chu, and Ho Wai Kin from the Department of Computer and Information Science; Zeng Tao, Wang Ze, Yang Shiheng, Liang Junhao, Jiang Dongyang, Cheang Chi Seng, and Chan Ka Heng from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; as well as Guo Dawei, Im Wa Ian, Wong Man Meng, Iong In Wa, Wang Kai Yuan, Ng Tin Iao, Lin Chen, Liu Yi Lin, Wu Kai Lin, Xu Da, Leong Un Lok, Hong Ka Hou, and Mak Ka Chon from the Department of Electromechanical Engineering.
