Dear students, alumni, colleagues, and partners of CDE,

This time of year signals the commencement of the competition season! Three outstanding teams are preparing for international competitions - the NUS Formula SAE team, the LeoNUS CanSat competition team, and the NUS Calibur Robotics team.

Every year, I witness our students' commitment as they wholeheartedly engage in various competition projects. Our students develop high-speed race cars, satellites, and robots, refining their technical expertise while fuelled by their determination to be the best. The competitive atmosphere ignites their passion to learn and apply their skills, enhances their teamwork and communication, and builds resilience.

Regardless of the outcome, I am confident that our students, representing the University and the College in these competitions and other arenas, do so with pride and honour.

Our competition and project teams have had the support and encouragement of kind donors and sponsors who have seen the value that these experiences bring to our students. We thank them for being the strength behind our teams.

In the same spirit of support for our students, the College is establishing the College of Design and Engineering Bursary to give incoming and current students the freedom to explore the many opportunities in CDE by lightening their financial concerns.

Please join me in making a gift online at https://bbis.nus.edu.sg/give/cde/cdeb and let's give all our students a boost so they can aim for the skies!
