“It has been an honour to be working with the School of Engineering in this competition. Despite having different backgrounds as a team, the knowledge and experience we shared while working on this project was definitely an opportunity that I would always be grateful for.”

Ng Yong Pong, Bachelor Of Mechanical Engineering with Honours

“It still feels like magic to me creating a polymer that can fight against radiation. Many can’t even correlate the two! We are engineers and we create. Innovation starts from us. “

Muhd Luqman Hii bin Abdul Qayyum Hii, Bachelor Of Mechanical Engineering with Honours

“I'm glad to have participated in the Engineering Innovation Challenge held by IES in 2021 because not only did we win the Champion title, but I was also able to learn and gain invaluable experience in additive manufacturing as well as improve my researching, engineering calculations, and report writing skills.“

Mohamed Nazran Nazeer, Bachelor Of Mechanical Engineering with Honours

"It was an honour to lead this team for my last interuniversity competition representing Taylor's and win first place. I can now graduate with no regrets."

Shannen Kay Chan, Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) 

“It was a very great experience having to work with students and lecturers from Taylor's School of Engineering as well as School of Medicine because everyone was always full of enthusiasm, never giving up despite the challenges faced, and always aiming and striving to improve and get better. Entering this competition without a single knowledge of engineering seemed like 'mission impossible' in the beginning, however these group of people were so helpful to patiently explain to me the overview, aims, and objective of our project. Listening to it, I realised that this project of utilising a different material, Bismuth-PETG, to print radiation shields instead of using lead-based could be a game changer for the future, especially in the healthcare line. It provides so many benefits like being eco-friendly, harmless to human health, relatively cheaper to produce and even customisable according to the size and shape needed! Winning this competition was a shock to all of us as the best universities from Singapore were participating too. It has and will always be an honour to represent Taylor's University especially in international competitions like this and I'd definitely continue participating in more competitions should the opportunity arise again. Lastly, I'd like to thank Prof Yeong, Dr Wong, Dr Choo, my team leader Nazran, and my fellow team members Pong, Luqman, and Alan for all their efforts throughout this event. “
