Formula SAE
Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is a competition organised by SAE International that challenges students to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with small formula-style racing cars. Teams spend 8-12 months designing, building, and preparing their vehicles for a competition. These cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events, including technical inspection, cost, presentation, engineering design, solo performance trials and high-performance endurance.
Bumblebee
Team Bumblebee is a group of innovators who envision building autonomous systems of the future. We build and designs autonomous vehicles capable of navigating underwater and on the water surface to perform tasks akin to real life situations in the marine sector. The team comprises Mechanical, Computer, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Business students from the College of Design and Engineering (CDE), School of Computing (SoC) and the NUS Business School due to the multidisciplinary nature of the project.

Auxobrace
Auxobrace is a rehabilitation device for patients who have undergone open heart surgery. Post surgery rehab requires patients to apply pressure onto the sternum bone during upper body movements and many other activities to avoid the unhealed sternum bone to slide or move. Improper or inadequate support can lead to extreme pain and harm to the wound. Many current braces and remedies still lack proper support and usability, hence the creation of Auxobrace.
Operation Paws
Operation Paws is a holistic medical play programme where child life therapists provide emotional assistive relief to worried paediatric patients and parents before a surgical procedure. By preparing them pre-operation, they are less anxious when they know what to expect during the actual operation.
SalaryKi
SalaryKi, is a website that makes important salary information accessible to migrant workers. It can be deployed during volunteer-worker consultations as a common touchpoint to aid in going through complex salary topics and wage entitlements. It also serves as a pre-education tool for workers not currently facing salary issues to beef up their general salary knowledge and pre-empt problems they may face in the future.
