“This international conference helps me to get a better vision of what my interest is”, said Teow.

Meanwhile, Muhammad Azuan Md Saharil, second year, Faculty of Build Environment said that IAU2018 shows him good insights of the real world which makes him understand better about the education at the tertiary level.
