Quote From Students Sharing:

“It has been a tremendous experience working on this project primarily because it has involved an integration of interdisciplinary research and creative thinking.Working on this project has been indeed an incredible journey, comprising of failures and successes, but the two things that kept me going were the encouragement I received from my professors,and my determination to never give up.”

---SETHI, Gursimran Singh (Gold Demo Award and Best Final Year Thesis)

“ ‘Are you serious?’ One of my friend actually asked me. Everybody thought that it was a ‘mission impossible’, including me. But we still wanted to try as this final year project may be the last time that we could do our own proposed project. Don't let your dreams be dreams, nothing is impossible.”

---Tang Ka Hei (Silver Demo Award)

“Nothing will be earned unless we do not give up when we are facing difficulties. This FYP makes my university life more fruitful!”

---Lung Ka Kit (Bronze Demo Award)

“In university, we cannot expect professor to teach us everything. FYP gave me a chance to learn myself.”
