📣 Pleased to share, with Minister for Transport Hong Tat Chee and ITE CEO Khah Gek Low, we have launched The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) Scholarship Fund (IESF) raising about $210,000 to offer scholarships to needy and deserving students taking up engineering courses at University, Polytechnic and Institute of Technical Education. As IES Executive Director and Chairman of the National Engineers Day 2024 organising committee, I shared with The Straits Times that the need for engineering talent with “green skills” has become increasingly important due to concerns over climate change and the transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon economy. I also mentioned that given the growing need for infrastructure development as well, more needs to be done in Singapore to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics. “We must shift the perception that engineering is difficult” and IES is now on a mission to showcase how engineering has evolved by organising technical talks and visits.

Invited to review research in regional development. At the first glance, this endeavour is distant from my formal training in engineering. However ... knowledge, like everything else, is evolving and is dynamic. Approaching this endeavour from an innovation lens, I see a lot of evolving connection between innovating for regional development and the ingenuity spirit brought forth in engineering. I look forward to contributing to the growing needs for innovation and human resource development in Southeast Asia.

Students and alumni exploring a career in the 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫, take heed – this sector is set to be more 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 such as robotics and digitalisation. SP Group paves the way by transforming the conventional way of maintaining Singapore’s underground electricity network. Inspecting tunnels housing Singapore’s electricity transmission cables used to be laborious and time-consuming, with the maintenance team spending hours walking along the tunnel to check for anomalies. Spock, a smart robotic dog, presently piloted in one tunnel, is poised to be a game-changer. Armed with video and thermal cameras, it has the capability to self-navigate tunnels, detect defects and log reports in real time. The thermal camera also enables it to detect anomalies such as water-formed deposits that may not be flagged out in visual inspections. Another crucial aspect is that it bolsters emergency preparedness by being the first responder to assess the situation and provide real-time updates. 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐏𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! https://lnkd.in/gZZvDH72 This routine, yet key, operation is set to be smarter, more efficient and safer. It also frees up time (estimated saving of 480 man-hours per year) for the maintenance team to focus on higher-order tasks such as critical repair work and data analysis to enhance network reliability. SP Group’s SPock project illustrates how Singapore is pivoting to Industry 5.0, where cobots (collaborative robots) as opposed to superseding, support humans with their strength in precision while humans focus on critical thinking and problem-solving. As Mr Deric Tang, a technical officer at SP Group and part of this project, put it, “It was an opportunity to upskill, gain knowledge in algorithms and machine learning, and hone data analytic skills to sharpen SP’s competitive edge”. This neatly sums up the next bound of manpower development for Singapore that entails continuous upskilling and reskilling, in order to leverage emerging technologies. Here at #SPEEE, we have tailored our curriculum to encompass not merely fundamentals in these new technologies, but also critical human skillsets such as critical thinking and problem-solving. This empowers our students to thrive in jobs of the future. Check out our Full-time and Part-time Diploma Courses! https://lnkd.in/gAxqYXRN
