Students also develop effective communication skills for the work place and skills in project planning and implementation. Through various problem-solving and team concepts, students take pride in their ability to learn, grow and prosper in the dynamic industry as electronics professionals.
Diploma in Info-Communications
This course equips students with the knowledge and application of both IT and telecommunications technologies to serve the rapid growth of the Info-communications industry in Singapore. One feature is the strong emphasis on the practical application of IT and telecommunication integrated skills. Another feature is the industrial certification that students receive through their in-house training and certification programme in the second year.
Graduates will be able to harness the technologies of IT and telecommunications to enhance the growth of the industry or new services and applications.
Diploma in Integrated Facility Design and Management
This course equip students with business, design and engineering fundamentals that provide a strong platform for the hospitality industry and the application of facility management in areas such as finance, quality assessment, planning, infocomm, automation, security and design. Students are trained with skills to professionally manage the physical, aesthetic, environmental and engineering aspects of the facility.
Diploma in Intelligent Building Technology
Conceptualised and introduced in direct response to industrial needs and national development, the Intelligent Building Technology course aims to play a key role in helping Singapore realise its IT2000 vision of an intelligent island. The course prepares students for the paradigm shift in the implementation of concepts and available technology in the building industry.
Students are trained in the principles and applications of key topics in building services, building and office automation, and information technology. The three-year course will empower students to integrate these various disciplines and implement them in buildings as intelligent systems. Besides being trained to design, install, manage, and maintain intelligent systems for buildings, students can be expected to develop effective skills in communication and project management.
Diploma in Mechatronics
The course equips students with the theory and practice to meet the changing needs of the manufacturing and processing industries. The curriculum provides a strong foundation in electronics, mechanical, and computing systems. Students gain knowledge that is focused on issues of product and process design, factory automation, robotics, machine vision, and manufacturing logistics. The course trains them to be innovative and creative in a practical way.
Students also develop effective communication skills for the workplace, and skills in project planning and implementation. Mechantronics graduates take pride in their abilities and have the confidence to learn, grow and prosper with the industry as professionals. This course has also been awarded the prestigious recognition of an Exemplary Training Model in Industrial Technology by the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
Diploma in Microelectronics
The course provides the students with a strong foundation in the electronics and microelectronics disciplines. The emphasis of the course is practice-oriented learning.
