About EDIC

The Engineering Design and Innovation Centre (EDIC) was established in 2009 to provide a holistic design and engineering education to students, as well as to support industry partners to innovate and address complex challenges. It offers the Innovation & Design Programme (iDP) for undergraduate students and the newly-established Master of Science in Engineering Design & Innovation (MSc EDI) for postgraduate students.

EDIC is open to collaborations with industry through student projects and consultations. We work with colleagues in the College of Design and Engineering and other Faculties/Schools to develop innovative solutions to multi-disciplinary industry problems. Our workshop facilities are well equipped and we have experienced technicians who support various types of hardware prototyping.

The latest news and happenings at EDIC.

Congratulations to Team Bumblebee who emerged as the Champion of RoboSub 2025 which was held on 11-17 August 2025 in Irvine, California, USA. Aside from the first-place finish, the team also received awards for best website, best report, and best video.

Congratulations to the NUS Formula SAE team who recently clinched 7th place at this year’s Formula SAE Electric Competition in Michigan, which is their highest ever placing in the competition since pivoting to the electric vehicle category in 2021.

The latest EDIC Project Showcase was held on 16 April 2025. Featuring more than 40 projects from our undergraduate and Master's students, there was plenty to see and experience at this event. Find out more about the projects on the showcase microsite!

How can design teams create effective prototypes that are efficient, minimal, and provide insights that cannot be obtained through research or analysis alone? This seminar introduces Critical Function and Critical Experience Prototyping (CFP/CEP), core methods from Stanford University’s ME310 course that guide design teams in answering focused questions throughout the development process. No pre-registration is required for this event. All are welcome and admission is free!

Application for the August 2025 intake of the Innovation & Design Programme is now open for freshman students. Submit your application today!
