THOUGHT-LEADING EXPERIENCE
The School places strong emphasis on nurturing our students’ ideas, and some
of the ground breaking researches that have matured to fruition include:
1 Student-built Satellite
As of mid-2014, four NTU satellites have been launched into low-Earth orbit, one
of which is VELOX-PII, Singapore’s very first student-built satellite.
2 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
NTU’s UAV technology was showcased at the 2014 Singapore
Airshow, where 12 drones were flown in formation to execute
complex indoor aerial manoeuvres – all within inches of each other!
3 Garage@EEE
This is a new initiative to nurture student innovation and creativity. Students who
are eager to test the viability of their ideas can pitch to the School for hardware
and software resources, which will provide them with additional bandwidth to
bring their trials and experimentations as far along as possible.
So tap into the exciting possibilities of your potential through NTU’s B.Eng (EEE)
programme, and be armed with a professional degree that will give you the
confidence to fulfil your aspirations, and the ability to contribute actively in
addressing the challenges of an ever-connected tomorrow.

“I was able to embark on my very own project which
was to create an LED cube 3D display. This project has
prepared me with both technical and soft skills through
the process of designing new electronic devices. The
School of EEE is truly the place for a vigorous
pursuit of knowledge, and a stimulating
experience unrivalled in its richness.”
