| Mr. Irshad Fajar BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATING IN A RESEARCH PAPER CONFERENCE Research paper contest is an excellent platform to feature students' projects and compete amongst the best brains in the engineering and scientific arena. It is a good opportunity for students to hone their analytical minds and cultivate their skill sets to face the challenges of competitive world, especially to those who are soon to step into the working world. It is truly laudable that undergraduate students are able to apply practical knowledge and classroom theories to conceptualise and create real-world applications that are beneficial to today's tumultuous society. Therefore, UTP Research Paper Conference is the perfect avenue for those budding engineers to witness the transition of their ideas from paper to reality. Exposure to this kind of activities will definately ignite the passion for research and development. The research work done by undergraduate students will become the trademark of themselves and also Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.  Conference  Conference |
