Lee Kuan Yew Award recipient, Singapore Sustainability Scholarship recipient Tristan Voon: Breaking Barriers with Hands-On Aeronautical Engineering SP's DARE course provided me with essential fundamentals, enabling me to pursue advanced studies in this field. My most memorable experience is my Final Year Project (FYP). We broke the sound barrier by developing our own Supersonic Wind Tunnel, something usually only universities have.
DMRO Gold Medallist, Lee Kuan Yew Award Recipient, Public Service Commission (Engineering) Scholarship Recipient DMRO is a unique course that bridges mechanical, electrical & electronics engineering with programming that teaches me to design and build intelligent systems. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in DMRO and picked up many hard and soft skills along the way. What makes my time in DMRO memorable and fulfilling was being able to go through the fun and tough times with my friends!
SICK Silver Medal, NUS Mechanical Engineering Honours (Highest Distinction) Graduate 2023 DMRO has provided me with a conducive environment and high-quality industrial-grade hardware, allowing for unhindered exploration and implementation of the latest advancements in mobile robotics. Moreover, this program has opened doors for me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at NUS.
DME Gold Medallist, Chua Chor Teck Gold Medal Recipient, NTU ASEAN Undergraduate, Scholarship Recipient I got to experience new things and definitely had a very hands-on experience in DME. I was introduced to 3D printers, CNC machines and was able to use them all for my projects! The knowledge I acquired in DME allowed me to branch into many different interest areas and the course also provided me with a wide range of skills I need to succeed in the working world!
