The second Interschool Research Poster Competition hosted by the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) concluded yesterday with an exciting exchange of ideas from the final year project students about research that focused on smart and sustainable building technology for the future combined with a Q&A with a panel of judges at the campus Student Centre.
The finalists, who were all FST undergraduates, showcased their final year research projects through utilization of posters that explained their research findings. The findings delved into topics such as energy savings evolution, IoT smart systems, cloud technology, bioremediation, DNA barcoding and many more in a coherent and concise way while developing skills in effective communication for dissemination of research information.
All in all, the competition showcased new perspectives into the research that happens in FST this year!
