About ME
Mechanical engineering touches virtually every aspect of modern life. Imagine an autonomous car powered by renewable energy and a robotic exoskeleton that can help seniors improve their range of motion. With the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (ME) to give you a head start into building such sleek technology, you’ll be well positioned to excel in diverse fields from precision engineering, environment and energy, facilities and infrastructure, to the transportation sectors.
Overview of Your ME Journey
Highlights
During my time at NP, I worked on a Final-year Project focused on automotive technologies and motorsports. I even represented NP at the Shell Eco-marathon Asia in 2019, with the energy-efficient car I built with my teammates, and came in second place in the region! This success inspired me to continue my journey in Mechanical Engineering at NTU, where I contributed to the development of NTU’s first Formula Student race car, NVF-1.
