RELEVANT
INDUSTRY PROFILE AND PROSPECTS
The
School of Engineering conducts various engineering-related
courses at the Higher Nitec (HNitec) and Nitec levels
to support the following two broadly-defined clusters
for the industry:
Aerospace
Engineering
Almost all companies depend on engineers and engineering-related
technicians for the creation and development of innovative
products and services. Engineering is multidisciplinary,
encompassing a broad and diverse range of disciplines.
AEROSPACE
The aerospace industry has grown strongly in the last decade in Singapore. It continues to promise tremendous growth potential, as Singapore develops into a regional aviation hub. Today, Singapore hosts more than 100 aviation companies. These companies are engaged in various aerospace activities in Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), design, manufacturing and aviation services. Singapore continues to build our capabilities as a “one-stop shop” for MRO to serve both the regional and global markets.
According to a study commissioned by the Association of Aerospace Industries (Singapore), the number of aircraft technicians and licensed aircraft engineers is set to increase by 11,500 over the next 10 years, from the existing 7,500. Specifically, there is a demand for 2,270 aircraft maintenance technicians over the next 10 years, to support the growth in the aerospace industry.
ENGINEERING
Forty
years of industrialization has given Singapore a wealth
of experience in engineering services. Today, Singapore
is home to industry leaders like Kellogg Brown &
Root, Foster Wheeler, Jacobs Engineering and M+W Zander
for engineering services. In fact, several of these
companies have already established their headquarters
here and expanded their operations.
Singapore
is a one-stop solutions centre for the engineering
industry. To maintain its lead, new initiatives are
constantly being introduced to boost the width and
depth of technical capabilities, as well as the rate
of innovation in providing value-added solutions.
The
precision engineering (PE) industry was also the third
largest contributor towards manufacturing value added
and the second largest for job creation. In 2003,
the industry contributed $0.5 billion in manufacturing
Fixed Asset Investment. Through the supply of components,
toolings and equipment, PE companies in Singapore
provide integral support to the manufacturing sector
across the electronics, transport engineering and
medical devices industries.. The manufacturing sector
is also expanding into value-production in areas like
aerospace and automotive, where it requires stringent
precision for critical parts.
