  • 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.

  • 1 Media Release Temasek Foundation and Local Polytechnics
    Media Release Temasek Foundation and local polytechnics launch youth leaders exchange programme with TVET institutions across the region TF SCALE programme aims to encourage cross-cultural learning amongst students on regional economic and community issues Singapore, 28 March 2014 – Temasek Foundation (TF) and three of Singapore’s polytechnics – Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), Republic Polytechnic (RP) and Singapore Polytechnic (SP) – have partnered 10 technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges from across ASEAN to launch the Temasek Foundation Specialists’ Community Action and Leadership Exchange (TF SCALE), a student leadership exchange programme. Temasek Foundation is committing a grant of about S$1 million towards the programme. The inaugural TF SCALE programme was officially launched today at Republic Polytechnic. It provides a platform for youth from various TVET institutions in Southeast Asia to engage in a holistic learning and cross-cultural sharing experience. This includes discussions on regional economic and community issues, and opportunities to apply practical skills, technology and research in developing social innovation projects. 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. Following this, the 150 TF SCALE scholars from Singapore (50 from each of the three polytechnics) will be attached to one of the regional TVET institutions for a period of two weeks.

  • Is Part of the National Infocomm Competition 2010 (NIC) Under the Secondary School and Junior College Circuits
    National Olympiad in Informatics Fact Sheet National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) is part of the National Infocomm Competition 2010 (NIC) under the Secondary School and Junior College Circuits. Synopsis of Competition The National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) is an annual competition organised by the School of Computing (SoC), National University of Singapore, since 1998. It is modelled after the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), the ultimate international competition in computing. (Informatics is the European term for computer science.) NOI emphasises creativity in problem solving on the one hand, and programming skill and expertise on the other. NOI consists of a four-and-a-half hour session in which each contestant is required to individually solve and program a solution to each of the five to seven programming tasks. The solutions are judged according to their correctness (i.e., whether they produce the correct answers) as well as their speed of execution (i.e., producing the answers within a time limit). The actual time spent on programming is not taken into account in the evaluation. Each contestant works on a PC and is given a choice of programming language (Pascal, C or C++) to use. Target Audience This challenge is open to the secondary schools and junior colleges. Each school may register at most 5 students. Scoring system The judging system is automated. Every task (problem) contains a number of test data sets. Each submitted program is run by the judging system, and its output, to be generated within a time limit, compared with the correct answer. Each task has a maximum score of 100.
