Synopsis
The Engineering Projects Exhibition (EPEX) is a platform to
showcase and demonstrate the best of the various innovative
engineering projects, undertaken by the undergraduate
students in Nigeria. To broaden the horizons, EPEX2018 shall
tolerate interested engineering students in all Nigerian
Universities.
EPEX2018 will be preceded by two preliminary series of
technical sessions where the best 10 projects from preliminary
series will be shortlisted and allowed to be exhibited on the ﬁnal
day and the best 3 shall be awarded prizes and all other
participants shall be compensated.
The program is expected to stimulate the innovative and
technical skills among students and to motivate them. It offers
engineering students an opportunity to develop independent
critical thinking skills, collaborative working skills, oral and
written communication and presentation skills as well as
marketing skills, thereby building their conﬁdence.
The program is projected to reward the engineering students,
and assure them that the society still values excellence.

and reward the best undergraduate Engineering projects of the year.
OBJECTIVES
1. To create a cross-disciplinary platform where undergraduate
projects can be presented and evaluated.
2. To motivate students and gear up their interest in their particular
projects.
3. To increase students' conﬁdence and enjoyment of studies,
reduce distraction and feeling of isolation, and empower outstanding
students.
4. To develop technical presentation, collaboration and team-
building skills in project design and development.
5. To contribute to the academic and technological advancement of
the nation.
6. To unleash local and indigenous undergraduate thinking and
creativity.

Background Information
The undergraduate project is considered to be an important part of the
engineering education process and often one of the major pieces of
independent research that a student will undertake. It involves
analysis, design, development and fabrication processes. Students
work independently on a project or work in teams ranging from one to
three. The project is supervised by an expert specialized in the area of
interest.
Project Exhibition creates a platform for undergraduate students to
showcase and demonstrate the innovative projects undertaken to the
university community, industry and the public. Also, it initiates
interactions between the audience – industrial representatives,
academicians and students. The projects will not only be evaluated
but also motivate the students in search of their own engineering
project interest, promote industry involvement in the activities of the
institutions of higher learning, inculcate the culture of entrepreneurship
among the members of the technology by providing the exposure to
the needs of industry and business.
The exhibition will keep the participants intellectually vigorous,
allowing them to make contributions to their field, and enhancing the
quality of their learning. In addition, they will have a realistic
understanding of the discipline, experience in actually creating
solutions and an opportunity to experience first-hand the thrills of
success and frustration of failure. Overall, the exhibition will offer the
participants to develop independent critical thinking skills, collaborative
working skills, oral and written communication and presentation skills
as well as marketing skills, thereby building their confidence.

Prospectus
With the involvement of the industrial sectors, it is believed that the
exhibition will induce more industry-faculty collaborations. The
industrial panels will help the students and researchers by exposing
them to the industrial needs and applications related to the various
fields in engineering and technology and offering an opportunity for
collaborations in research and development as well as in
commercialization. Therefore, the exhibition becomes a platform to
both academicians and industrial panels to exchange opinion and
share their experiences in the engineering field to meet the global trend
in the rapidly evolving technological world.
Overall, undergraduate project and its exhibition will empower students
in hands-on learning; increase retention in the Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines; provide effective
career preparation; encourage critical thinking, creativity, problem
solving, self-confidence and intellectual independence; and promote an
innovation-oriented culture. Exhibition helps students in applying the
concepts learned in coursework in providing solutions to real-life
challenges.
The professional benefits include exploration and preparation of
students for future careers, development of marketing skills,
enhancement of professional communication skills, collaboration of
students with others and effective team-working capability. The
students will grow a critical, analytical and independent thinking skills to
sustain them in meeting challenges and demonstrating the ability to
complete a project. Finally, undergraduate engineering project
exhibition will benefit the students personally, industry specifically and
society generally.

EPEX 2018Undergraduate Engineering Students
from all Nigerian Universities will be
invited to participate.
There will be two preliminary sessions before the final project exhibition.
At the preliminary sessions, projects will be disqualified each day, to
remain 10 projects to be exhibited on the Grand Finale. These projects
will be judged by a panel consisting of lecturers spread across the
Engineering disciplines,Technologist and Industrial Panelists.
The criteria for judgment, among others, will include the economic
justification, the innovative design, amount of work-done, the market
value and why the project stands out. The panel will have a term of
reference that will be used in judging the projects till the end of the
programme.
One of the main goals is to have funding available to cater for the cost of
the adjudicators' participation at the project exhibition. Adjudication is
critical to the success of the programme. The overall best projects will
receive cash prizes, laurels and certificate of excellence.

CHALLENGES FACED SO FAR
Lack of adequate fund on;
· Hospitality: - The organizing committee has been facing
challenges on accommodation for the contestant from other states
and universities during the preliminary stages. This year we plan to
provide accommodation for participants coming from outside Kwara
state.
· Refreshment: - The event has always been graced with large
number of audience, this year we deem it fit to appreciate the ever
present panelist and attentive audience with light refreshment.
· Winners' prizes and awards: - Over the years only the first 3
winners were compensated with prizes and laurels but this year's
edition we plan to compensate and appreciate the efforts of other
participants that make it to the finals.
