Singapore’s Academic Model

The Training Institution Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) is one of the premiere polytechnic schools in Singapore. An ISO9000, ISO9001, and an ISO14001 certified academic institution Recipient of several institutional awards such as the: ◦Singapore Innovation Class Award ◦Hewitt Best Employer Award ◦People Excellence Award ◦Singapore Environmental Excellence Award

NYP’s Teaching Factory Concept Emulating and integrating the real-life Emulating and integrating the real-life industrial environment with the teaching and learning environment Project work Project work is an integral component -- a platform for students to draw from the pool of knowledge and skills learned and apply them in real-life multi-disciplinary environment

NYP’s Teaching Factory Concept COLLABORATION COLLABORATION ◦Strategic Win-win Partnership with the Industry and a multi-approach & multi-level collaborations:  Technology Leaders such as:

Conclusions Learning the C language was very interesting and challenging Learning the C language was very interesting and challenging Learning how to implement “wire-wrapping” technology was tedious but fun in motion control Learning how to implement “wire-wrapping” technology was tedious but fun in motion control Learning PLC in a highly “industrialized academic environment” was greatly appreciated with enough resources (laboratory) for every student. Learning PLC in a highly “industrialized academic environment” was greatly appreciated with enough resources (laboratory) for every student. New program/software learned: Kiel C, Omron PLC & FluidSim, Easy C New program/software learned: Kiel C, Omron PLC & FluidSim, Easy C

Recommendations 1. Implementation of the acquired knowledge from the three major topics covered, especially on the PLC and Micro-controller programming in the subject Industrial Electronics. 2. Strengthen the basic programming curriculum/instruction in the department (on C language). 3. Design and implement laboratory modules for the use of the ECE students.

Recommendations 4. Acquire additional equipments and materials needed for the instruction/laboratory works in the ECE program 5. Make use of the Hitachi Lab Equipments and parts to create something new for IE. 6. Purchase one Vex Robot educational kit for instructional purposes in the Micro-P subject and showcase this to HS students.

Recommendations 4. Establish industry collaboration: faculty immersion during summer in the industry desired for each faculty 5. Adopt the “teaching factory concepts” of NYP.
