MEDIU’s Faculty of Engineering has met with a wide range of engineering students to brief them about the Student Advisory System (SAS) which is newly implemented in the faculty of engineering. The system aims to provide academic help and guidance for the students from the day they enrol in the faculty till they graduate. The session was held on Monday, 29 February 2016 attended by a large number of students from the Faculty of Engineering.
