The 10th PolyU Mechanical Engineering Research Presentation Competition was successfully held on November 7, 2024. This annual event provides research students with a platform to showcase their project results and share knowledge with the PolyU community.
Dr Li Mengying, the Research Student Liaison Officer, introduced the competition and emphasized the importance of academic pitching skills. The aim is to train research students to effectively communicate their academic ideas to both peers and non-experts. Dr Tang Hui, the Associate Head (Research), addressed the opening of this 10th annual competition, noting its significance in providing invaluable opportunities for ME research students to showcase their talents.
This year, fourteen academics from three main research clusters (Acoustics & Robotics, Manufacturing Materials & Mechanics, Thermofluids & Energy) were invited to form the panel of judges.
Following the oral presentations, participants engaged with the audience during the research posters exhibition. The displayed posters not only highlighted their research project results but also provided an opportunity for participants to convey their ideas and interact with viewers and professionals. The event was attended by other research students and PolyU staff members, who also had the chance to vote for the People's Choice award. The participants actively sought support from the large audience in securing votes.
Prof. Su Zhongqing, the Head of the Department, concluded that this competition has served as an excellent platform for our PhD students to showcase their research achievements and practice the art of delivering compelling presentations over the past 10 years. A good presentation acts as a bridge, connecting complex ideas with the audience's understanding and willingness to embrace those ideas. We should applaud everyone for their outstanding presentations.
Congratulations to all the participants on their fabulous presentations and excellent research work!
