IID 2006: STestMAP - a golden exhibit from UiTM Sarawak

The Institute of Research, Development and Commercialisation has successfully organised another Inventions, Innovations and Designs (IID) 2006 event for the third time round on the 19 and 20 of January 2006 at Dewan Sri Budiman and Annexe, UiTM Shah Alam. This is a university-level event which hopes to showcase the quality and not just the quantity of our university's research efforts. UiTMCS sent in one participation with the mission to bring back a medal. The sole representative from our campus was the team headed by Mr Foo Kien Kheng. The other members of the team were Miss Leong Siow Hoo and Miss Lau Ung Hua. The team submitted STestMAP, an innovative product that serves as a visual thinking tool for researchers. All participations to this event were initially evaluated both at the branch level and then more stringent assessment was done at the university level. Once STestMAP's participation was confirmed, each team member contributed their ideas and expertise in preparation for this event that carried the theme "Expanding The Horizons of Inventions, Innovations and Designs". Some of the early preparation done prior to the event were the production of brochures, compilation of statistics based on feedback from STestMAP users and slides preparation. The team put in tremendous effort to ensure that they would not leave the event without a medal.
