Sunway University College’s School of Computer Technology (SCT) was proud to see 4 of their undergraduate students clinch the 1st runner-up position in the SAS Programming Competition 2009 held recently at UiTM, Shah Alam. The competition was jointly organised by SAS Malaysia and UiTM.
Sunway University College fielded three teams who were coached and guided by SCT academic staff, Ms Angela Lee and Ms Ling Mee Hong. Two of Sunway’s teams beat 9 other teams in the competition to reach the final round of the competition. The team that comprised Jeric Yuen Juin Keat, Au Yong Chee Hau, Yeo Ee Fong and Han Yian Ting made an awesome achievement by winning 1st runner-up in the competition. They won RM500, certificates and a plaque.
Team leader Jeric Yuen, third year Bachelor (Hons) information Systems student said “Although the finals of the competition was a close fight, it was a good exposure for us. I think we did well considering it was a new language for us. We had to attend additional classes, once a week, outside of our regular classes just to prepare for the competition”
The other team that qualified comprised of Foong Cheng Ho, Ang Jiun Long and Lim Vi Kiat.
