Upcoming Projects
Regardless whether you are enrolled in the Innovation & Design Programme as a Second Major or Minor, we welcome all students who are keen to engage in real-world projects with peers from different disciplines and industry partners to work with us. Our year-long project courses CDE3301 Ideas to Proof-of-Concept, CDE4301 Innovation & Design Capstone, and CDE4301A Ideas to Start-up are open to all NUS students. We also offer one or two-semester projects for CDE2605 Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme.
Projects for CDE2605 Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (AY2025/2026 Semesters 1 and 2)
We welcome all students from the College of Design and Engineering to work on ad-hoc projects under CDE2605 Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme. Students may work on these projects for one or two semesters either as individuals or with a team of other students. Either course can be used to partially fulfil the compulsory internship requirement for students in Engineering majors.
