STUDENTS ON SUTD’S UNIQUE INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION Ian Chung Enzhi Alumnus, Master of Architecture Studying architecture in SUTD has been a journey to remember. Having been exposed to the necessary skill sets in my undergraduate studies, it has prepared me well for the rigour of the master’s thesis. The master’s thesis serves as a reflection of our visions as designers and the values that we embody as individuals. I'm thankful for the opportunity to dive deep into specific interests during my time in the masters programme which has redefined what architecture means to me and reaffirmed my architectural direction. Shah Pankti Amish Undergraduate, Computer Science and Design SUTD’s Computer Science and Design programme has enriched me by blending technical expertise with creative problemsolving, equipping me to tackle real-world challenges with innovative solutions. This interdisciplinary approach has broadened my horizons, providing me with numerous opportunities to achieve and excel in the dynamic tech industry. Caitlin Daphne Tan Undergraduate, Design and Artificial Intelligence SUTD’s interdisciplinary approach to education has effectively shaped my ability to ideate, design, and execute end-to-end solutions to tackle realworld problems. It has empowered me to embrace the innovative mindset and leave a positive impact. Ernest Ng Undergraduate, Engineering Product Development What I truly appreciate about the SUTD curriculum is its consistent emphasis on realworld applications of our learning throughout the eight terms. For instance, I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge in statistics and control systems to design and understand the workings of vaccine cold storage boxes. Similarly, my team and I were given the opportunity to apply insights from global health, biodesign, and social sciences to create educational tools, collaborating with medical institutions to impart kidney care knowledge to tertiary students in an engaging manner and to address the pressing issue of rising kidney failure cases in Singapore. This unique pedagogy that SUTD offers has deepened my understanding of engineering and reaffirmed my passion for healthcare, demonstrating how seamlessly the two fields can be integrated. Nathan Ansel Undergraduate, Engineering Systems and Design The SUTD Engineering Systems and Design (ESD) programme trains students to employ design thinking in systems engineering. By combining both theory and practice, the ESD curriculum teaches students to analyse, design, and optimise systems. From day one, students engage with corporate clients to solve real-world problems and improve operations. We also engage in various academic projects to implement the theoretical components learned in class. p. 36 SINGAPORE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN
