Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Dyson have launched an engineering studio that will give students a chance to work with industry experts to develop technological answers to real-world problems.
The Dyson-NTU Studio is Dysons first on-campus engineering studio in Asia. An undergraduate course module co-taught by the two partners in the Studio, it will give NTU engineering students access to advanced prototyping equipment to help them turn their ideas into viable solutions.
Students choose from a variety of problems facing society in this semester-long Product Development Challenge module. Guided by NTU professors and Dyson engineers, they will develop technology prototypes and test their viability on the NTU Smart Campus.
Starting this academic year, up to 20 NTU engineering students will enrol in this module each semester.
Professor Louis Phee, Dean of NTU's College of Engineering, said, Universities have always been fertile grounds for nurturing exciting student ideas....
