The science of what fish eat matters more than most people realise 🌊🐟

At World Aquaculture Singapore 2026 today, SIT and Singapore Food Agency (SFA) announced the establishment of the Feed and Feed Ingredient Technology Centre (F2TC) at SIT – a new research centre dedicated to improving what Singapore's fish farms feed their fish.

Why does that matter? Feed is one of the most significant input costs in aquaculture, and getting the nutrition right for tropical marine species is critical to the productivity of local farms.

F2TC brings together SIT's expertise in extrusion engineering, AI-driven modelling and applied research with SFA's industry networks and technical know-how. Global partners Clextral and INVE Aquaculture are on board to help scale discoveries from lab to farm.

The centre is part of Singapore Food Story 2, our national plan to build a stronger, more resilient food system – and reflects Singapore's commitment to climate-resilient food production in this Year of Climate Adaptation.

90% of the world's aquaculture comes from Asia. F2TC puts Singapore at the heart of keeping that going, sustainably and climate-resiliently.

Our Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) doesn't just prepare students for industry. It places them inside it.

Eugene Lio’s IWSP with ST Logistics took him from identifying operational gaps to implementing digital solutions that support business needs.

It's a model that creates continuity, connecting classroom learning to real work, and real work to a career.

And that’s also Kalyani Alagappan’s story of progression. An SIT Systems Engineering alumna, she's now a Senior Innovation Specialist at ST Logistics – the same organisation where her IWSP began. Through IWSP, she built the confidence to experiment, the resourcefulness to navigate challenges, and the drive to keep growing.

A seamless transition from classroom to career – where our students hit the ground running after graduation, with partners who already know their value.

After a week of conversations on sustainability, it was time to put ideas into action.

We wrapped up the week with our first beach clean-up at Coney Island!

Starting from campus, participants set out on foot before rolling up their sleeves to help keep our coastal environment clean. This builds on our twice-yearly clean-up initiative, traditionally focused on campus perimeters. This year, we extended our efforts into the wider community.

A meaningful step forward as SIT continues to turn intent into sustained action.

What does a future in the pharmaceutical industry look like?

At the Human Library Experience: Pharmaceutical Industry Edition at SIT, our alumni became “Human Books”, sharing their personal journeys through honest, small-group conversations with students.

Now working across leading global pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, they spoke candidly about career paths and workplace realities, including industry expectations and the skills that helped them thrive in this fast-evolving sector.

With four rounds of conversations and students rotating between tables, there was no shortage of questions, laughter, and eye-opening moments along the way.

A big thank you to our alumni for returning to guide and inspire the next generation of SITizens! Your stories are helping them step into their IWSP journeys with greater clarity and confidence.

We just launched our new Centre for Intelligent Robotics (CIR) at ATxSummit 2026 and what this means for students is pretty exciting!

Robots are already showing up in our neighbourhoods, but making them work safely in our environment is harder than it looks. We're tackling that challenge right here in Punggol Digital District.

Through CIR, we're working with Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore and JTC to test and trial robotics in a live urban environment, not just in a lab. We're also partnering with companies like Unitree, Slamtec and QuikBot to tackle real-world challenges, such as using humanoid robots for last-mile delivery.

Our students don't just learn about robotics in a classroom, they work together with industry players on problems with real robots. These are the kinds of hands-on experiences that prepare them for jobs that are being created right now.

We're also expanding our robotics and AI programmes across undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing education pathways. And through a new partnership with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, students get global exposure in one of the fastest-growing fields in tech.

The future of work is changing and we're making sure our graduates are ready for it!

What does it take to ensure technology advances sustainability, not outpace it?

At SIT’s 4th Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) Community of Practice, centred on Technology in Sustainability, leaders across sectors focused on advancing sustainability from ambition to action, examining how technology could be created or leveraged to deliver meaningful, scalable impact for the environment and society.

Opening the session, Mr Bill Chang, Chairman of SIT’s Board of Trustees, set the tone: growth and sustainability must move together, and the decisions we make now about technology will shape how well we deliver on both.

The discussion that followed reinforced a clear message – sustainability must be designed upstream and scaled with intent, instead of being an afterthought.

Mr Cheong Jiawen from JTC Corporation shared how embedding AI and sustainability across the industrial lifecycle, from design to implementation, drives stronger long-term impact and innovation in greener solutions.

At National University Health System, Mr Ng Kian Swan shared NUHS’s decarbonisation strategies, showing how data and smart systems can optimise operations within hospitals and reduce environmental impact.

Mr Spencer Low from Google APAC added to this, noting that as AI scales, organisations must deploy it responsibly, balancing efficiency gains with its environmental footprint to drive better outcomes for people and the planet.

Moderated by Ms Fang Eu-Lin from Singapore, the panel converged on a shared imperative: amid the rapid growth of AI, sustainability is not a competing priority – it must be scaled with intent and embedded into every layer of how we build and deploy technology.

As Singapore’s University for Industry, SIT brings together industry, academia and practitioners to exchange perspectives, shape solutions and drive real-world impact.

Thanks to our speakers and CSO community for the thoughtful engagement and for advancing this important conversation.

What started as a granddaughter’s desire to communicate with her grandfather became an award-winning innovation on the global stage.

Four students from SIT-Newcastle University’s Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering programme developed TalkingTiles, an affordable communication and rehabilitation tool for people with aphasia, a language disorder that can affect speech after a stroke.

Inspired by teammate Nur Tahirah Afiqah’s grandfather, who suffered from aphasia, the students created a tactile, offline alternative to conventional tools. Instead of accepting the silence, they built TalkingTiles – a 3D-printed tool that helps users construct sentences, which it then translates into speech. TalkingTiles also supports speech rehabilitation.

The project brought together engineering, healthcare and user-centred design, challenging the students to acquire and apply skills beyond their domains. From learning soldering and 3D modelling to troubleshooting their prototype overseas, the team worked closely with mentors and faculty members across engineering and speech and language therapy to refine the prototype and optimise it for real-world application.

Their innovation earned them the Best All-Girls Team award at the 2025 AAKRUTI Innovation Competition in Houston, Texas🏆

“Communication is the heart of being human. If our product reaches the market one day, I hope it helps people with aphasia find their voice and confidence once again.” – Ashley Cano, one of the team members.

Congratulations to Nur Tahirah Afiqah, Ashley Cano, Cynthia Phua and Gu Juanyu on this outstanding achievement. Read more: https://www.singaporetech.edu.sg/news/giving-people-aphasia-voice

What does a globally relevant education at SIT look like? Here’s a glimpse of what we’re building. 🌍

An SIT delegation led by President Prof Chua Kee Chaing, Deputy President (Academic) & Provost Prof Susanna Leong, and Deputy President (Industry and Community) Mr Bernard Nee, recently visited Rome, Tallinn and Copenhagen to deepen ties with universities, industry, and ecosystem partners.

Rome – At RINA’s Open Innovation Hub, the team built on the RINA-SIT MoU and discussed ways to grow the partnership, from applied research and student mobility to possible startup engagement through RINA’s Call 4 Startup initiative.

Tallinn – The delegation visited TalTech - Tallinna Tehnikaülikool, where SIT ICT students will undertake immersion programmes in Digital Innovation and Applied AI later this year. They also visited NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence to explore how SIT students and faculty could gain deeper exposure to cybersecurity.

Copenhagen – At Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen Lighthouse and the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the delegation exchanged ideas on entrepreneurship, sustainability and industry-academia collaboration, with a focus on how these conversations could translate into learning opportunities for SIT students.

At SIT, applied learning means creating real-world exposure before graduation. Through partnerships like these, our students and faculty gain opportunities to learn from industry, connect globally and bring those perspectives back to Singapore.

Thank you to our European partners for the warm welcome and meaningful conversations.

When Cheang Jian Ming graduated with his Chemical Engineering degree in 2013, clean energy was still far from the mainstream industry it is today.

He stepped into it anyway.

That decision eventually led him to a role in strategy and investments at Électricité de France (EDF), a global leader in low-carbon energy and power generation, where he drove expansion opportunities in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

What set him apart wasn’t just his technical abilities. It was his willingness to go all-in on unfamiliar territory and keep learning across cultures, markets and technologies.

Having benefited from mentorship throughout his own journey, Jian Ming is focused on paying it forward. Today, he gives back by mentoring fellow SITizens – because for Jian Ming, success isn’t just about how far you go, but how many you bring along with you.

What does it really mean to be industry-ready?

For Kwon Sang Hyeok, it meant graduating with more than just technical knowledge, but the ability to apply it confidently in high-stakes, real-world environments.

Through the SIT–Technical University of Munich Asia - TUM Asia Electronics and Data Engineering joint degree programme, he was exposed to hands-on projects, practical problem-solving, and industry-relevant training, readying him for the fast-paced semiconductor sector. As he prepares to graduate this year and transition into a full-time engineering role with AMD, he is translating what he learnt in the classroom into tangible outcomes on the job.

His journey reflects what applied learning at SIT is all about: bridging theory and practice to prepare students not just to enter the workforce, but to deliver from day one.

Engineers Can Help to Repair the Planet

When Cyclone Ditwah hit mid-holiday, Ramesh Subramaniam found himself pushing a stranded van through floodwaters. That moment stayed with him.

Now, as a learner in SIT’s Graduate Certificate in Sustainability Principles and Practices, Ramesh is channelling that instinct into his daily work – reducing carbon emissions in construction, rethinking how everyday products can be designed to last longer, and shaping sustainability decisions in large-scale projects.

In his own way, Ramesh is not just building infrastructure. He’s helping to repair the planet. And he’s not alone.

Across industries, engineers and professionals are asking a hard question: What does it mean to build responsibly?

This programme gives you the frameworks, tools, and community to answer it – and act on it. The next run of the Graduate Certificate in Sustainability Principles and Practices starts in March 2026.
