Participation in Prototype Presentation at TRACOM SBTW WIT Exhibition 2011

On 13 July 2011, SEG DIOM has participated in a Prototype Presentation at the Singapore Police Force TRACOM SBTW WIT exhibition held at Republic Polytechnic. Four students from DIOM, Azfar, Masagoes, Fareez and Azlan, did a great job in showcasing our FYP collaboration with TRACOM (portable modular writing surface) to the students and officers. A total of two models (made by the DIOM students) and two prototypes (fabricated with vendor) were presented during the exhibition. A CE activity was conducted to solicit feedback and response was good.

Comments from the organizers are as follows:

“The TRACOM SBTW WIT exhibition held at Blk W1 was a resounding success. A big THANK YOU to you and the project team students for their dedication and hard work in running the exhibition!
We appreciate your hard work & efforts!

We have given out & received a total of ~600 feedbacks from the RP students, staffs & our very own VSC officers. Response was so overwhelming that we had to turn away many others who came forward asking to participate in our feedback.

In all, we have received many positive feedbacks on the potential of our prototypes. Some of the pertinent area for improvements highlighted are:

1) The stability of the leg structure
2) Adding colours to the prototypes
3) Explore materials  like carbon fibre, alloy, titanium, environmental friendly materials, etc
4) Should include seats to showcase as a complete prototype, and many more. ”

Below are some of the photos taken at the Prototype Presentation during the exhibition:

Participation in Poster Presentation at Inaugural GSK-EDB Green & Sustainable Manufacturing Symposium 2011

On 6-7 July 2011, SEG DIOM has participated in a Poster Presentation at the inaugural GSK-EDB Green & Sustainable Manufacturing Symposium 2011 at Fusionopolis. Two students from DIOM, Leila and Shangeetha, were selected for the Poster Presentation and they did a great job at showcasing our project to the visitors at the Symposium.

A worthy mention is that out of the 35 posters selected by GSK for the Poster Presentation, only 2 are from Polytechnics (1 from NP and 1 from RP), while all the others are from NTU, NUS and A*Star. Hence, we are really glad to be given the opportunity to showcase one of our students’ projects in this Symposium.

Below are some of the photos taken at the Poster Presentation during the Symposium:

SEG DBME students successively received TKK Merit Award for the 2nd time!

After RP’s first winning of Tan Kah Kee (TKK) Young Inventors' Award in 2010, more RP teams (at least 8 teams) participated in the TKK competition in 2011. Finally, one team from Diploma of Biomedical Electronics (DBME), School of Engineering, won the 2nd TKK award for RP successively in 2011! 


This time, our students won the Merit award in the senior students section.  Since there isn’t any GOLD award given for all categories this year, RP team actually won the 2nd prize after the silver award. 


Many VIPs, including Prof. Su Guaning (Former President of NTU,   Chairman of Governing Board of TKK Foundation) tried out RP’s iPhone based BCI wheelchair system in the award ceremony held on 28 May. The event was featured in Local TV news.
