The University of Macau’s (UM) Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) on 30 May held the Dean’s Final Year Project List Presentation Ceremony and Project Exhibition 2015. The event aimed to recognise outstanding graduates and showcase the accomplishments of the students after four years of studies. The ceremony was attended by industry practitioners, students, and their family members.

Prof Wong Pak Kin, associate dean (academic affairs) of the FST, said that the exhibition not only provided a platform for students to interact with industry practitioners, it also served as a window for the industry to know more about the students’ talents and skills. Prof Wong added that the comments and suggestions from industry practitioners can help to improve the quality of teaching and research at the FST.
