Student Achievements

Second year electrical engineering students Loh Yun Ying and Ng Yong Jie won the second prize at the SCDF Lifesavers’ Innovation Challenge 2019. The “Badger Team” won a cash prize of  $S6,000 for their proposal  “Building Assessment Device for Generalised Emergency Response”. The team proposed to utilize the phenomenon of fire induced vibration using smart sensors to facilitate fire-fighting personnel in evaluating the structural integrity of a building during a fire to mitigate the risks of structural collapse while response personnel are inside it, reducing potential injuries or deaths.

Organized by the Singapore Civil Defence Force, the SCDF Lifesavers’ Innovation Challenge 2019 aims to provide an opportunity for undergraduates from all local universities, across all disciplines to propose and develop solutions to address existing challenges faced by the SCDF.

Computer engineering student Francis Lee and final year computer science student Caryn Heng won the top prize at the Global Virtual Reality Championship Hackathon 2019 held in Shanghai, China, from 4 - 7 November 2019. The hackathon saw seven teams from China, Taiwan, Serbia, Australia, Singapore and Korea compete against each other for the championship title.

Second Year computer engineering student Yan Zhiwen and his teammates snagged the first prize at the Singapore Airlines (SIA) AppChallenge 2019 and won an all-expense paid trip to Silicon Valley. The team also won the chance to participate in the SIA Accelerator programme to develop their winning solution into a viable business model with funding of up to S$150,000.

A team of final year students emerged as champions in the recent Build On, 2019 Singapore Hackathon on 24 September. Congratulations to computer engineering student Xie Yu Heng, business analytics students Victoria Teo and Vincent Leow, and information systems students Teo Kai Cheng and Rebecca Tan.

We are pleased to receive news that 3 computer engineering students were awarded the  I&E Practicum @ SoC in June 2019.  Congratulations to second year computer engineering students Jerry Zhang & Rishi Mahadevan, and third year computer engineering student Srivastava Aaryam.
