CHAIR’S
MESSAGE
The School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, one
of the three pioneering schools of Nanyang Technological
University, stands firm on the fundamentals of mechanical
and aerospace engineering, while continuing to break new
grounds in teaching and research.
As we stand on the cusp of the 4th Industrial
Revolution and in an ever changing global
economy, the school is committed to provide the
very best education one can ever have.
In teaching, engineering fundamentals form the
bedrock of our curriculum. Students are
encouraged to broaden their scope and explore
their interests through electives that they can
freely choose. Lectures, with the assistance of
on-line learning technologies, are the central
platform of delivery. Our students are frequently
challenged and stretched through projects as
well, many of which they have to define, discover
and solve problems independently. In addition, the
school encourages our students to embrace the
uncertainty in the global markets today and to
cultivate a culture of lifelong learning through a
plethora of hands-on workshops, invited talks
with industry leaders as well as training sessions
with our professional in-house career coaches.
In research, we have attracted large grants that
allow us to establish research centres on areas of
current interest to the industry and Singapore.
These areas include 3D Printing, Aerospace
Engineering, Air Traffic Management, Naval
Architecture and Marine Engineering, Optical
Engineering, Remanufacturing, Robotics and
Intelligent Systems and Sports Research. These
grants enable us to strengthen our research and
work with industry partners. Very importantly,

they are also the vehicle for us to bring front-line
industry problems to the classroom, exposing our
students to deep relevant issues and, in many
cases, involving them in solving the problems as
well. Innovation is in our DNA, some of our
faculties and even our students have taken their
research further and commercialise them
through spin-off companies.
To deliver the best education, the school is also
home to the best minds from the top institutions
around the world. We spare no effort in recruiting
the best minds from well-respected institutions
around the globe in order to give our students the
best education they can receive. Our efforts serve
to provide our students with a holistic education
and to equip them with the right skillsets and
knowledge that is future-ready. Our track record
speaks for itself. Majority of our students secure
employment within three months of their
graduation, and many well before. Many of our
alumni are now in senior positions in their
organisations or leaders in their field.
We build our students not just to be good
engineers, but wholesome human beings,
creative and ready to face challenges head on.
Our graduates are clearly the wealth and value
creators of the future. I invite students
wholeheartedly to join the school of MAE,
so that together we can build a better future for all.

MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineering has
been described as the ‘mother
of all engineering’, thanks to
its all-encompassing nature.
Over the years, the study of
mechanical engineering has
grown from producing basic,
functional products, to designing
advanced, technology-based
items that are smaller, smarter,
and greener than ever before.
The specialisations within MAE
reflect the diverse nature of the
discipline, and are testament to
MAE’s comprehensive approach
to mechanical engineering
teaching and researching.
Additionally, our curriculum
is constantly updated to match
various industries’ evolving
trends, so NTU MAE graduates
always have the most modern,
relevant, and immediately
applicable knowledge at
their fingertips.

I have been involved with the Nanyang Venture
Series of Cars in my first year with NTU,
particularly Nanyang Venture 8 – Singapore’s first
3D printed urban solar electric car.
I appreciate how these projects place a greater
emphasis on the passion and dedication of
students to learn and innovate, rather than on
academic grades. The hands-on activities and
teamwork that I’ve experienced, go well beyond
classroom learning.
Besides that, representing NTU MAE and driving
our solar car in overseas competitions have given
me treasured memories. There’s a sense of pride
and achievement every time I walk past the school
and see our trophies on display.
SCHOLARSHIPS

In recognition of academic excellence

and leadership potential, NTU offers

My key role in the Demand Planning Team of Johnson & Johnson

is to manage, review and optimise Medical Devices’ inventory in
the Asia Pacific region. This position requires me to liaise with
people who are key stakeholders in the global, regional and country
planning team.
With the support and persistent effort from the team, we have
brought over 1M USD inventory reductions and identification of
another 7M USD opportunities to be realised, a memorable
accomplishment! Through the internship, I learned how the supply
chain function works, and how to communicate and interact with
others. Most importantly, I realised that solving challenging cases
really motivates me to learn more, every day!
