Project EXPO
A project expo for students is an event where they showcase their engineering projects, typically completed as part of their coursework, internships, or extracurricular activities. These expos serve several purposes, including providing students with an opportunity to demonstrate their skills, facilitating knowledge sharing among peers, and allowing industry professionals and academic staff to evaluate and provide feedback on the projects. The Technology Innovation and Incubation Centre (TIIC) conducts the CONCOCT Project Expo and METE Product Expo every year.
