Shenyang Aerospace University launched the SAU Power Innovation and 2nd Future Engine Design Competition to improve the level of professional skills, realize integration of theory and practice and enhance students’ practical ability in engineering. The International Education College students took part in the competition and achieved Special Excellence Award for their outstanding works.

Preparation
From September 27 to October 7, 2020 publicity work was carried out, where the class tutors created awareness about the competition and encouraged students to join. Two student teams from IEC signed up for the competition and were each given a supervisor who provided guidance to the students and continuous assessment of the students’ projects.
The teams were given enough time to discuss and come up their ideas with drawings, models and numerical simulations of their research then finally, submit their work to the Committee of Professors.

 
Project defense
On November 13th starting from 16:00 to 20:30, each student team gave a three-minute presentation of their project in front of a panel of Committee professors who in turn asked questions and graded the student teams’ presentation of their ideas.
IEC student teams came up top and achieved the highest committee award for their dedication throughout their research period and for the outstanding presentation of their defense.
