School of Engineering

Thanks to NP, I had the chance to participate in the WorldSkills Singapore Competition, where I discovered more about cutting-edge technologies and acquired new knowledge.  Through the competition, I was able to expand on my practical skills and grow in confidence.

I was drawn to mechatronics engineering because of its multidisciplinary nature. The Automation & Mechatronic Systems course gave me the opportunity to combine my interests in both engineering and liberal arts in stimulating ways, paving the way for me to pursue my passions.

I chose Engineering Science as the course offered opportunities for me to apply my knowledge to solve real-world problems. Thanks to the course, I built a strong foundation in physics, maths and computing, as well as electronics and mechanical engineering knowledge, which has prepared me for further studies.

Since I was a child, I had always wanted to be a pilot and was curious how aircraft worked. NP definitely opened my eyes to how far I can go and spurred me to be a leader in the aerospace industry.

As far as I can remember, I’ve always had a strong interest in physics and math, and a keen desire to study how machines are made. That’s the reason why I decided on Mechanical Engineering. I’m glad I made the decision to pursue my studies at NP − for the solid foundation it has given me.

After my internship at Sick Sensor Intelligence, I realised that I could make a difference in the lives of others. It was then that I found my calling and a desire to develop new innovations for the healthcare sector. Engineering has prepared me well for real-life challenges. I have learnt to think like an engineer, and acquired the skills and confidence to deal with any problem.

Despite struggling to juggle my studies and care for my family, I managed to pull though because of the support I received from NP. The poly has also helped me to discover my potential as a leader, and I hope to pay it forward by motivating students who may be struggling with financial and family issues.

With NP’s focus on grooming industry-ready graduates, I gained valuable skills from project management, computer-aided design and programming. This allowed me to manage various challenges in the marine industry. Thanks to my holistic experiences in NP and NTU, I successfully completed my final year medical-related project on the 3D printing of a scoliosis brace.

My diploma has equipped me with very practical and useful skill sets. The course also pushed me out of my comfort zone to think and look for solutions. I found the modules engaging and enjoyed my classes, which allowed me to understand engineering concepts in greater depth.

Being able to apply our classroom skills and learn through hands-on experiences puts meaning into our work. This internship has also given us significant insights into the solar and clean energy industries.

Collaborating with NUS on a meaningful project that contributes to future sustainability excites me and drives me to overcome any challenges I face along the way.

Working on our final-year project for the Youth Action Challenge was a unique experience that required multidisciplinary skills like 3D printing, programming, website development and video editing. With widespread global warming, we wanted to develop green energy devices for land-scarce Singapore. That’s how we conceptualised the idea of Eco Road, to convert heat from our roads into a source of energy.

Our partnership with NP is about creating a sustainable future workforce, one that will drive innovation and usher in a new era of clean, efficient, technology-enhanced energy and mobility systems. Our new technology centre, known as synergy.lab, will allow students to explore real-world solutions, diving into data analysis, simulation and renewable energy. It is a place that will nurture the brilliant young minds of NP’s students.

The collaboration between Beckhoff and NP aims to empower learners with cutting-edge knowledge and skills through state-of-the-art technology integration, real-world exposure, and faculty expertise enhancement. Learners get to engage in innovative teaching and learning co-developed with NP, gaining the practical experience needed to become industry-ready professionals, equipped to excel in the automation and control field. With Beckhoff's global presence, learners are also exposed to international applications to broaden their horizons. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience that prepares learners for success in the ever-evolving world of technology.

What sets Ngee Ann Polytechnic apart is its proactive collaboration with industry partners and ensuring its courses remain relevant and practical. Their curriculum, such as NI LabVIEW modules is designed in close consultation with industry experts to ensure students graduate with the precise skills and knowledge employers seek. National Instruments is glad to work with Ngee Ann, offering our industry insights and preparing students to tackle the real-world challenges of our field with confidence.

With a goal to empower young minds with the transformative power of technology and inspiring learners to pursue careers in pivotal engineering fields, our partnership with Ngee Ann Polytechnic is deeply rooted in our shared vision of nurturing the emerging talents of today and promoting the exchange of expertise, knowledge, and information.

MooVita is pleased to work together with NP in the co‐development of the ES curriculum. Through this programme, we are bringing together autonomous systems fundamentals with operational insights and experiences, equipping learners with the right skill sets to become proficient robotics and autonomous systems specialists. Nurturing a ready pipeline of talents with the right skill sets will be key for long‐term sustainability for companies and a step closer to Singapore's Smart Nation vision."

With significant growth in the industrial robotics industry, Bosch Rexroth is proud to work with NP as a technology partner, to co-develop comprehensive Industrial Robotics courses which cover Industry 4.0 concepts and applications. Bosch Rexroth is also excited to collaborate with the Mechatronics & Robotics diploma course through curriculum development and internship opportunities. The aim of the partnership is to drive adoption and understanding of automation and industrial robotics fundamentals within the Advanced Manufacturing sector.

With sustainability being a key part of Grundfos’ DNA, our partnership with NP demonstrates our commitment to introducing cleaner, more energy efficient technologies that can help the built environment sector reduce its energy consumption and overall carbon footprint. As a global pump and water solutions company, we pioneer solutions to the world’s water and climate challenges and improve quality of life for people. We look forward to working with NP by spurring innovative thinking among our younger generations that can help advance the entire region’s sustainability trajectory.
