THE annual Engineering Project Show, held at the Temasek
Convention Centre from Jan 19 to 21 saw 94 innovative
projects by final-year engineering students on
display. The projects, which included community-related
projects, as well as those carried out in collaboration
with industry and institutions, were showcased to industry
partners and secondary school students, as well as parents
of TP students.
Here are two of the exciting projects:
Mass SMS System
With more than a million SMS messages sent daily in
Singapore, lecturers find that they too should use this
means of communication with their students. However,
instead of having to manually key in hundreds of handphone
numbers of students, this program allows them to tap
on an Excel database containing the numbers, and
to send the message to all students instantly with just
one click of the mouse.
Electronic Parking Reminder System
This project solves the problem which plagues most
drivers – forgetting where they have parked their
car. Upon request, this system will send an SMS indicating
where the car has been parked through the use of an
in-vehicle unit, which will in turn send the car ID
to a central processing server where the information
can be retrieved.
