Singapore Project Center - IQP

Singapore is a city-state, so it's easy to navigate. The food, languages, and religions all reflect the country's vibrant multicultural population. With four official languages (English, Malay, Tamil, and Chinese), Singapore embraces diversity. English is Singapore’s common tongue, making communication for Americans very easy. Singapore is a center of finance, tech, banking, and culture in Southeast Asia--and it's a safe, efficiently run modern city. In fact, it’s consistently rated as one of the world’s safest cities, and it is recognized as the world’s least corrupt country. And it’s known for its hawker centers and lively food scene. We take ½ cohorts to Singapore. This means 3 teams and 1 WPI advisor. Teams will work with students from the National University of Singapore’s Engineering Design and Innovation Center (EDIC). Like WPI, the EDIC has a project-based curriculum. WPI and NUS students work on sponsored projects that tend to focus on innovative technology in fields like agritech, education, or biotech. WPI students live near campus and are registered as research students at NUS, granting them access to the NUS campus and its amenities.
