The technical excellence of our Engineering students is demonstrated in their consistently fine performance in the prestigious WorldSkills Singapore (WSS) competition, as well as the international Shell Eco Marathon Race, over the years.
In 2020, our School won 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze, and 1 Medallion of Excellence in the WorldSkills Singapore competition 2020 – contributing to the biggest-ever haul of medals by Temasek Polytechnic (TP) in the 62-year history of the competition. The following year (2021), they chalked up 3 Silver and 3 Medallions for Excellence.
Meanwhile, our students have also clinched top spot in the Shell Eco Marathon Race (hydrogen fuel cell category) for 3 consecutive years, in 2018, 2019 and 2022 (there was no physical race in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19). The wholly original car which our students designed using patented fuel cell technology, has repeatedly proven to be the most efficient on the race track, beating those designed by top notch universities from around the world.
The results are testimony to our students’ technical expertise and superior practical skills, and reflect the high level of training that they receive in the School of Engineering, especially supported by our Centres of Excellence.
The WorldSkills Singapore competition, held biennially, symbolises the pinnacle of vocational excellence in skills trades and technologies training. Gold and Silver medallists may go on to represent Singapore at the WorldSkills ASEAN and WorldSkills International.
