Amal Muzaki graduated in 2025 with a double degree in Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) and Bachelor of Business Administration. Currently working as a strategy consultant at a global strategy consulting firm, Amal evaluates complex operations in industries such as refining and petrochemicals, where his background in chemical engineering proves critical.

“I think what has really helped across this work has been the quantitative thinking, data analysis, and disciplined approach to assumptions that I developed during my time in Chemical Engineering at NUS.”

Thinking back to the start of his CDE journey, Amal shared, “CDE exceeded my expectations by offering a deeply enriching and well-rounded experience. I would describe the first two years' courses as an ‘engineering toolkit’, which played a pivotal role in honing my technical skills and interdisciplinary thinking.

CDE also offers industry-grounded education, with close alignment of electives with industry applications. One of the courses was taught by a Shell industry veteran with decades of experience. Everything he shared was practical and very relevant to the current trends in the industry.”

Reminiscing on the vibrant student life he led, Amal added, “Outside the classroom, I was able to explore my passions in music and sports and even lead initiatives like the International Student Onboarding Programme. It was a journey that pushed me to grow in every dimension.”

Amal would encourage his first-year self to “slow down and enjoy the journey; to stay open, remain curious, and say ‘yes’ more often.”

Benjamin is Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Beep Technologies, a startup creating a universal, modular platform that bridges the physical and digital divide. The platform powers smart, contextual, and interoperable connectivity across physical touchpoints while ensuring customer privacy through decentralised technology.

Reflecting on his choice of CDE programme, Benjamin shared, “I recognised the critical role that hardware integration plays in technology development. This motivated me to pursue a degree in Computer Engineering. While software skills can often be self-taught through online resources, mastering hardware demands structured guidance and access to specialised tools, something the university environment provided in abundance.”

Nonetheless, Benjamin realised that technical expertise alone was not enough. “Soft skills, especially communication and persuasion, are equally essential for success. I made full use of my time at CDE to develop these competencies, which have proven invaluable when pitching ideas and designing user-centric solutions.

Looking back, I am incredibly grateful for the journey. Whether it was late-night troubleshooting with coursemates, deep research discussions with my FYP supervisors, or the thrill of discovering new concepts in class, these are memories I would always treasure.”

Edwin Chuah, Roshen Sidhu, and Dylan Ee Boon Siong all graduated with a shared vision: to make a meaningful impact in the world with their engineering knowledge. The trio, who have all graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering), plan to launch a social enterprise focused on delivering affordable, user-centric disability tech services. This direction stems directly from their work in bGood — an initiative that merges engineering education with real-world community impact.

Under bGood, Edwin designed ARMovin — a low-cost robotic arm support device that has since helped a young man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in lifting his arms to reach for items and interact with his environment.

Dylan Ee, also took part in bGood with the aim of helping others. Together with coursemate Roshen Sidhu, the trio developed WheeLift — a height-adjustable wheelchair that improves accessibility for users.

Recalling how the trial elicited positive feedback from testers, Dylan shared, “It wasn’t just a classroom project, it had a real purpose. Seeing our creation make a difference was quite rewarding.”

Roshen explained their decision to launch a social enterprise, “Even with a promising prototype, it can be difficult to find someone to carry the work forward after the semester ends — whether to further develop it or to bring it to market or the intended users. We want to translate our ideas into real-world impact without delay.”

“Our time in BME has taught us that engineering is not just about solving technical problems, but also about developing thoughtful, inclusive, and practical solutions to real-world challenges.” Edwin said. “We encourage you to connect with like-minded peers, take on diverse projects, and during these four years, explore how you can shape your own unique path.”

Zoey Chan is a 2024 graduate from the Division of Industrial Design who has been named the National Winner of the James Dyson Award 2025 for her thesis “nido” — a portable tool that supports people with Type 1 Diabetes by simplifying daily injection.

As a compact organiser that stores, ejects and organises insulin needles, nido makes this daily care routine safer, easier and less clinical. Inspired by Zoey’s own experience with the condition, the project began as a deeply personal investigation into the overlooked rituals of living with T1D.

Reflecting on the win, Zoey shared that submitting nido was already a big step, so being recognised felt “even more surreal”. She added, “Because of this competition, I also got to connect with even more people with similar experiences. The recognition and exposure from the award helped affirm that addressing small, quiet moments can resonate with a wider audience.”

Since winning, nido has continued to gain visibility. The project was included in Prototype Island, a DesignSingapore Council showcase at Milan Design Week 2026 featuring experimental works by Singapore-based designers responding to real-world challenges.

“This recognition affirms my belief in nido, and I’m excited to continue refining it and to bring it closer to the people who need it most.”
