Hosted by the NUS Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in collaboration with the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (ISEM), the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), and SHINE, the event was enthusiastically attended by the students, professors, lecturers, and staff.
The event commenced with a welcome address by Prof. Aaron Thean, Provost of NUS and Director of SHINE, who provided an overview of current developments in the semiconductor industry. He highlighted the industry’s multidisciplinary scope, encompassing basic sciences such as physics and chemistry, as well as engineering and business. Prof. Thean concluded by offering his best wishes to the new students as they embark on their academic journey.
Prof. Biplab Sikdar, Head of the NUS Department of ECE, followed with an inspiring speech about the structure of the MSc STO program. He emphasized the importance of internships and projects as integral components of the curriculum, designed to equip students with practical, hands-on experience that will make them highly attractive to industry employers upon graduation.
The insights shared by both professors resonated strongly with the students and faculty, setting a positive tone for the exciting journey ahead.
