Faculty students presented their findings at the IESL UIY Competition 2016

Students from the Faculty of Engineering University of Jaffna, resented five projects as their findings to the IESL UIY competition. This is the national level event organized on 8th July 2016 by the IESL head office in Colombo. This was a very good exposure to the Faculty students on mixing with other Faculty students while demonstrating their findings.

    Brief about the UIY competition:

    The Under Graduate Inventor of the Year (UIY) competition was established by the IESL to encourage and stimulate creativity and interest in inventions among engineering undergraduates in the country and provide opportunities for engineering undergraduates to organize and present their original inventions. It’s also a forum for networking within Sri Lanka engineering undergraduate students as well as members of industry and academia.

    The  competition tries to inculcate basic principles for success in innovations such as having a stated goal, develop design criteria, background research, prepare preliminary designs and materials list, consider costs, manufacturing and user requirement, building  and testing prototypes, consider reliability, repair and servicing, final product testing, presentation of results etc.
