Projects

The Engineering Design & Innovation Centre engages in projects with various industry partners, in particular through student projects in the Innovation & Design Programme and MSc in Engineering Design & Innovation.

These hands-on projects span across a wide range of themes. Through these projects, students learn how to apply their design and technical domain knowledge and skills in order to solve problems that have real-world impact. The best projects are demonstrated to industry partners, guests, and students during our annual project showcase and other events.

Our student projects are partially supported by various industry donors and sponsors. We are grateful for their generous contribution which makes it possible for the Engineering Design & Innovation Centre to sustain and grow its educational mission.

Project Themes

Designing solutions for healthcare needs in hospitals and the community.

Designing future mobility solutions and novel vehicles for people and goods.

Designing smart devices to enhance everyday life, work, and play.

Designing solutions to tackle challenges of urbanisation and sustainability.

Developing novel applications for virtual reality and augmented reality.

Designing complex engineering systems and automations for various applications.

Bumblebee is a student-run, multi-disciplinary robotics team who designs and builds autonomous underwater vehicles and autonomous surface vessels that can navigate across oceans independently.

Students in this project design, manufacture, and build a formula style electric race car to compete in the annual intercollegiate FSAE competition in Michigan.

NUS RoboMaster is a student-run team comprising members hailing different academic disciplines, working together to develop multiple robots to compete in the DJI RoboMaster University Championships – the ultimate robot death match.

This multidisciplinary team of students from Engineering, Science, and Computing builds robots to participate in the prestigious University Rover Challenge held annually at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, USA.

Project Showcase

The iDP Project Showcase 2024 highlights the work by our final year students in the Innovation & Design Programme. There were close to 40 projects from about 100 students, spanning a wide range of themes such as healthcare, mobility, sustainability, smart living, intelligent systems, and immersive reality.

The EDIC Project Showcase 2023 featured the work of our Year 3 students in Innovation & Design Programme and inaugural batch of students in the Master of Science in Engineering Design & Innovation programme who completed their year-long design projects at the end of the August 2023 semester.

The iDP Project Showcase 2023 highlights the work by this year's graduating students in the Innovation & Design Programme. Some of our students who were pursuing commercialisation of their project ideas through our Ideas to Start-up final year project course also pitched their start-up ideas during the showcase.
