The second game, “Fluid Dynamics Defense,”<\/em> challenged participants to defend themselves from water balloons in a competitive yet fun environment. Then, during the lunch break, participant are given time to rest, pray, and refuel before the next agenda.<\/p>\n

The afternoon resumed with the third activity, “The Engineering\u2019s Trials,”<\/em> which featured five obstacle activities, with each team racing to finish all obstacles first to become the winner. The final game, “The Feedback Loop,”<\/em> emphasized communication and strategy, wrapping up the eventful day with a collaborative spirit.<\/p>\n

The program concluded with a heartfelt closing ceremony at 4:30 PM, where participants and committee members shared reflections on the day\u2019s achievements and memorable moments. A special gift session was held to honor the best-performing team, presented by our dedicated Programme Manager, Brother Faiz. After performing the Asr prayer, the group departed at 5:30 PM, marking the end of an enriching day, and arrived safely back at IIUM by 6:30 PM.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ gutter_width=”2″ admin_label=”three image” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”fe9769d4-948a-418e-9c1e-dbba2a99bac4″ custom_padding=”5px||5px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/engine.iium.edu.my\/chemicalengineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/14.-CHESTA-Day-2024.jpg” alt=”14.
