James Dyson Award 2019 is now open from 28th March - 11th July 2019. To encourage
participation from IIUM, Malaysian James Dyson Foundation would like to run an engineering workshop for our engineering students.

Through the workshop, students will learn first-hand on what it means to be a design engineer where students will be exposed to Dyson’s philosophy and gain an insight into the life of a design engineer. Students are also given an opportunity to work in teams and create a prototype during this workshop by solving existing problems. By engaging with design engineering in this way, students can see that design engineering can be interesting and that design engineers don’t just fix things, but generate new and innovative solutions to everyday frustrations. They will also share about James Dyson Award the yearly international competition and tips by professional judges to our students.
