Rozali bin Mamat who had launched this program hoped his students to benefit from this program. He also hoped that the delegations from Kulliyyah of Science, IIUM Kuantan campus could persuade the students to further their studies in science- and mathematical-based undergraduate program. This program concerns to attract school students to enroll themselves in courses related to science and mathematics. In addition, this program also aims to introduce Kulliyyah of Science and its three departments; Departments of Biotechnological Science, Departments of Biomedical Science and Department of Mathematical Science. Furthermore, this program also aims to inform the student about the job prospects available once they graduated.

This program was divided into two sections; exhibition and seminar. The seminar was held in the assembly hall of MRSM Kuantan where three speakers from each department; Br. Mahfuz for Biomedical Science, Sr. Fairuz for Biotecnological Science, Sr. Rafitah for Mathematical Science and one speaker from Kulliyyah of Science; sr.
