On 25 June 2026, the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST), successfully organized the Final Year Design Project (FYDP) Poster Exhibition and Competition Spring 2025. The event provided a platform for final-year undergraduate students to showcase their innovative projects, technical expertise, and research accomplishments.

This semester, the competition featured four categories: Electronics, Communication, Power, and Signal Processing. A total of 51 project teams participated in the event. To ensure a comprehensive evaluation process and strengthen academia-industry collaboration, distinguished faculty members from renowned universities and experts from leading industries were invited as judges and guests. Through this initiative, the Department of EEE aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry by presenting students' projects to academic and industrial experts and obtaining valuable feedback.

The Communication category was judged by Dr. Mohammad Rakibul Islam, Professor, Islamic University of Technology (IUT); Muhammad Mohsiul Haque, General Manager, Robi Axiata Limited; and Dr. Pran Kanai Saha, Professor, Department of EEE, AUST.

The Power category was judged by Dr. Mohammad Tawhidul Alam, Professor, Department of EEE, American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB); Md. Mukit Alam Khan, Chief Business Officer (CBO), Akij Engineering Ltd.; and Mr. Mohammad Minhaz Akram, Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, AUST.

The Electronics category was evaluated by Dr. Orchi Hasan, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), and Dr. Md. Tashfiq Bin Kashem, Associate Professor, Department of EEE, AUST.

The Signal Processing category was judged by Dr. Md. Kafiul Islam, Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB); Tasnim Sarwar Rad, Head of Motion Business, ABB Limited; and Mr. Adnan Quaium, Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, AUST.

The event was inaugurated by Prof. Dr. Md. Ashraful Hoque, Honorable Vice-Chancellor of AUST. During his visit to the exhibition, he interacted with the participating students, observed the poster presentations, and shared his valuable insights and encouragement with the project teams.

A total of 12 teams were recognized with awards across the four competition categories.
