SUTD Singapore

Welcome

A warm welcome to the first virtual Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) Capstone Design Showcase 2020. This showcase seeks to celebrate the remarkable efforts that our graduating students have put in for the past seven months as part of the Capstone Design Programme.

The Capstone Design Programme has been the hallmark of SUTD’s graduation experience. It provides a realistic and integrated design experience for our graduating students from different majors to combine their respective expertise to solve real-world challenges presented by our Industry Partners or to develop their business ideas via entrepreneurship capstone projects. In this seven-month journey, our students gained valuable exposure to real-world technical and business challenges, thus gaining a good head start in their careers.

This year, we have a total of 63 projects and 44 participating Industry Partners; of these 63 projects, 6 are proposed by students to further develop their business ideas. We welcome the new companies who have joined us for the first time and we would like to thank partners who have been with us for a number of years.

Heartiest congratulations to all the graduating students! As you start your professional careers, I urge you to be anything but ordinary. Take risks and be innovative. Be inspired and inspire. Be different and make a difference to the world.

Finally, I wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.

About the Capstone Design Programme

At Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), we believe that the power of design roots from the understanding of human experiences and needs, to create for innovation that enhances and transforms the way we live. This is why we develop a multi-disciplinary curriculum delivered via a hands-on, collaborative learning pedagogy and environment that concludes in a Capstone Design project.

The Capstone Design Programme is a collaboration between our Industry Partners and graduating students. Students from different majors come together to work in teams and contribute their technical knowhow and design expertise to solve real-world challenges faced by our Industry Partners.

The Capstone Design Showcase is held annually to celebrate the success of our graduating students and unveil the enthralling, multi-disciplinary innovations they have developed for our Industry Partners.

MoBlocks

MoBlocks is a set of Architecture STEM building blocks, integrated with an education tool, targeted at Preschool-Kindergarten Education. Students will build architecture structures using the blocks before digitalizing their creations onto the platform to perform customization to alter its appearance. Educators, on the other hand, may utilize the tool to document and create portfolios for their students. Other than architecture, MoBlocks can be easily integrated seamlessly into various curriculums and subjects due to its versatility of building blocks and can be adopted by educators to conduct different kinds of activities and lessons.
