Vhora

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.

Vhora Shrayans Suresh
Mechanical Engineering graduate, Class of 2016

Graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree from NTU and is currently working as a project engineer at LTA.

Wong Zheng Hui

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.

Learning by Doing

Cheok Keng Lun and Saw Aung Lin Oo

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.

Cheok Keng Lun & Saw Aung Lin Oo
Electrical Engineering, Year 3

As interns with Sunseap, a local solar energy firm, they perform checks on photovoltaic (PV) modules and inverters on rooftop systems, and monitor PV modules that collect real-time data.

Soh Jin Rong Ryan

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.

Ryan Soh
Electrical Engineering, Year 3

Currently working with NUS’ Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore on his final-year project to develop a standalone remote solar photovoltaic monitoring system. The project will be deployed for the testing, collection and analysis of real-time data.

Mohamad Asyraf, Tan Yi Rong, Nicholas Ho

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.

Mohamad Asyraf (centre)
Aerospace Electronics graduate, Class of 2021

Eco Road won the Most Innovative Idea award and received a $30,000 grant at the inaugural Youth Action Challenge organised by the National Youth Council; Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth; and the People’s Association Youth Movement.
