First of all, I would like to wish you all a Prosperous and Happy Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai! As you all know, a fellowship barbeque was held by CUTEC at Taman Selera a.k.a Tanjung beach on 20th of October 2007. Around 50 participants had successfully attracted to attend. The event was aimed to foster the relationships between the committee members, ordinary members and club advisors. At the same time, our club advisors, Mr. Cheng Chin Fook and Mr. Terence Tan contributed great efforts in promoting interesting projects to all the members. The event was officially started around 3p.m. and the first program was a talk delivered by both of the club advisors. The inspiration talk was mainly about the projects that are going to be initiated on next semester. Those projects including Go-cart project, River Power Generator and Mini Flyer. After the brief project descriptions session, everyone was divided into three groups based on the project that had interested the members. During the session, some movies regarding to the project were showed to the members and they were given the opportunity to ask any question regarding towards the project. When the time reaches 3.30p.m., there was a fun session for all the members. The members were encouraged to split into 5 groups. As all of them are future engineers, they were given an engineering related task, which was to build a sand tower with highest height-to-base ratio among all the groups. By observing the pictures uploaded below, you will notice that they really enjoyed the competition. After the game, barbeque was finally started. CUTEC members have the privilege to enjoy all the food for free. While they were enjoying their food, the committee members and members were mingling around. The whole program ended around 6p.m. In short, this event was conducted smoothly and the outcome was very satisfactory for all the committee members who had put a lot of hard works into the event. In line with the theme of this event, “Scunk Work”, that brings the meanings of a group of people who work together to achieve the same goal, therefore the game was designed in such a way that members were required to collaborate in their teams to build a sand tower.
