Aviation Hub

(Blk G Level 2)

The Aviation Hub provides an authentic training environment for hands-on learning in aircraft maintenance and repair. Students work with both military and civil aircraft, including the Bell UH-1H helicopter, S211 jet trainer, Learjet 24B, and Boeing 737, while gaining experience with industry-standard engines such as the JT9D turbofan and JT8 jet engines. 

Enhanced by the Onboarding@SKILL facility developed with ST Engineering, students are introduced to industry-aligned Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) workflows, including inspection, planning, and reassembly using digital tools and automation. 

Through real-world training and strong industry partnerships, students develop practical skills, gain internship and mentorship opportunities, and graduate well-prepared for careers in the aerospace industry.

Robotics Lab

(Blk E Level 2)

The Robotics Lab provides hands-on training in collaborative and mobile robotics, Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles (AIV), smart sensors, vision systems, and 3D printing. Students gain practical experience in setting up, operating, and maintaining modern robotic systems used in service robotics and advanced manufacturing. 

Through applied learning in robotic mechanisms, sensing, and control, students develop skills for roles such as Robot Technician and Assistant Automation Engineer. Learning is further enriched through industry collaborations, including partnerships with Universal Robots to host the Human-Robot Collaboration Competition, where students showcase solutions that enhance sustainability, efficiency, and productivity in real-world applications. 

Automation Hub

(Blk E Level 5)

The Automation Hub offers hands-on training in robotics programming, pneumatics and hydraulics, automation maintenance, and electrical installations. It is continuously updated to keep pace with Industry 4.0 developments, SkillsFuture initiatives, and evolving industry needs. 

In collaboration with industry leaders such as ABB and Festo, as well as government agencies, ITE co-develops curricula that prepare both full-time students and adult learners with relevant technical skills. Emerging technologies, including Cyber-Physical Systems and Digital Twins, are progressively integrated to support the curriculum, ensuring training remains current, practical, and aligned with industry demands.
