1st Edition of Consuldents Final Year Project Competition
Share
A Competition Designed for
Graduate Students of Pakistan
At Consuldents, we believe that Final Year Projects (FYPs) play a very critical role in shaping a good student. Students who do good projects in their college days have better engineering skills and stand apart from others in the placements and in their jobs. It is the vision of Consuldents to create better engineers through projects that are localized to Pakistan’s context and carry innovative designs and strategies.
This competition is to encourage Pakistani students making use of their ‘Final Year Projects’ in the best way possible. Consuldents wants to recognize potential students with outstanding FYPs to be showcased to the world.
Why 4IR Challenge?
Why fourth industrial revolution or 4IR? Because we stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. Our engineering response should be clear enough: the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive, involving technological skills that solve our problems of today, and become a beckon of hope for tomorrow.
