After a long and elaborate preparation, students from the Computer Science and Technology Programme (CST) of the Division of Science and Technology presented their research projects during the first exhibition on the evening of 23 October 2013.
Programme Director Dr Weifeng Su explained in his opening speech that the exhibition clearly demonstrates how to gather and analyze information, formulate a strategy, and apply it. By incorporating 'fun and hip' applications it will make the programme more attractive and students will be more motivated. CST should continue to promote this kind of 'fun' culture and continue to merge it into its programme.

"An exhibition of our CST programme was necessary. Students had the time to demonstrate their works and get attention. At the same time, the audience was motivated by the fascinating displays. This, in return, enhanced the CST students' confidence to study and research in UIC,” said Dr Weifeng Su.
The organising members were Dr Amy Zhang, Ms Yanyan Ji, Ms Yu Liu, and Mr Colin Zhang.
