Singapore’s Academic Model
The Training Institution

Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) is one of the
premiere polytechnic schools in Singapore.

An ISO9000, ISO9001, and an ISO14001
certified academic institution

Recipient of several institutional awards such
as the:
◦
◦
◦
◦
Singapore Innovation Class Award

NYP’s Teaching Factory Concept

Emulating and integrating the real-life
industrial environment with the teaching and
learning environment

Project work is an integral component -- a
platform for students to draw from the pool of
knowledge and skills learned and apply them
in real-life multi-disciplinary environment

Conclusions




Learning the C language was very interesting
and challenging
Learning how to implement “wire-wrapping”
technology was tedious but fun in motion
control
Learning PLC in a highly “industrialized
academic environment” was greatly
appreciated with enough resources
(laboratory) for every student.
New program/software learned: Kiel C,
Omron PLC & FluidSim, Easy C
Recommendations
1.
Implementation of the acquired knowledge
from the three major topics covered,
especially on the PLC and Micro-controller
programming in the subject Industrial
Electronics.
2.
Strengthen the basic programming
curriculum/instruction in the department (on
C language).
3.
Design and implement laboratory modules
for the use of the ECE students.
Recommendations
4.
Acquire additional equipments and materials
needed for the instruction/laboratory works
in the ECE program
5.
Make use of the Hitachi Lab Equipments and
parts to create something new for IE.
6.
Purchase one Vex Robot educational kit for
instructional purposes in the Micro-P subject
and showcase this to HS students.
Recommendations
4.
Establish industry collaboration: faculty
immersion during summer in the industry
desired for each faculty
5.
Adopt the “teaching factory concepts” of
NYP.
