you can bring your students for the competitions. Students can present their
project works at the competitions. Then students can add it as part of their
career preparation portfolio. Networking, higher study opportunities, discussion
with faculty, job opportunities with industry professionals and communication
experiences will be helpful with participants from more than 30 countries. </p>
