Competition and Flagship Projects
The Engineering Design and Innovation Centre is home to a number of multidisciplinary project teams that participate regularly in overseas competitions or special missions. The project teams comprise of and are led by students in the Innovation & Design Programme who can count their work in the competitions toward their project courses in the programme.
Bumblebee is a student-run, multi-disciplinary robotics team. The Bumblebee team designs and builds Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) to navigate across oceans independently, from the shore line and the water surface, to deep waters.
The Galassia programme is a student-led CubeSat nanosatellite initiative that focuses on developing solutions for space-related applications, and provides students with hands-on experience in space systems engineering, structural design, and mission operations.
NUS Calibur Robotics 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.
The CanSat Competition is a design-build-fly competition that provides teams with an opportunity to experience the design lifecycle of an aerospace system. It is designed to reflect a typical aerospace programme on a small scale and includes all aspects of an aerospace programme from the preliminary design review to post flight review.
In this competition team, students design, manufacture, and build a formula style race car to compete in the annual intercollegiate FSAE competition in Michigan.
The NUS Mars Rover Team is a multidisciplinary student team competing in the University Rover Challenge to build the next generation of autonomous planetary exploration systems.
