  • Nurturing Youth to Engineer the Future of Singapore
    Media Release Nurturing youth to engineer the future of Singapore Engineering@Polys 2014 aims to stimulate students’ interest in science, mathematics, design and technology through real-world Engineering applications SINGAPORE, 2 September 2014 – Using a wind turbine to power household devices. Supply chain management of a blogshop. Putting together an audio amplifier. These are some of the activities that secondary school students can look forward to in this year‟s edition of Engineering@Polys 2014. Singapore‟s five polytechnics - Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP), Republic Polytechnic (RP), Singapore Polytechnic (SP) and Temasek Polytechnic (TP) - have put together a four- month long programme showcasing engineering as an attractive discipline with diverse career opportunities. Supported by the Ministry of Education, the joint-polytechnic programme, held from July to November this year, will help secondary school students associate what they have learnt in the classroom – in subjects such as Science, Mathematics, Design and Technology - with real-world engineering applications. Asia‟s robust economic growth has led to an increased demand in several sectors such as infrastructure, energy, refined products, chemical, building and construction. The developments underpin the increased demand for engineering professionals. In the built environment sector, for example, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) expects construction activities to remain buoyant and sees strong prospects for engineering graduates joining the sector. “The built environment sector is experiencing transformative changes with the push for greater adoption of advanced and productive technologies. Coupled with the sustained sectoral growth beyond 2030, the sector offers many exciting opportunities and meaningful careers for engineers to contribute towards shaping the built environment for all to live, work and play in,” said Mr Neo Choon Keong, Group Director of the Manpower and Strategic Policy Group, BCA.

A total of 300 students – comprising 150 from Singapore and 150 from Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam – will participate in the inaugural run of TF SCALE. To start the programme, NYP, RP and SP will each host 50 students from around the region. During the four-week programme in Singapore, the TF SCALE scholars will be engaged in various TVET-related academic programmes and participate in a series of workshops where they will work in teams to apply technical skills and knowledge to develop social innovation projects with their Singaporean counterparts.
