OVERVIEW
Digital transformation helps companies or organisations keep up with emerging customer demands and changing business needs. Companies are invited to embark on an Industry 4.0 journey with us as project sponsors.
The capstone project is an essential course of the NUS Master of Science (Smart Industries and Digital Transformation), formerly Master of Science (Industry 4.0), programme. Through this core course, students gain valuable experience when applying their knowledge of Industry 4.0 technologies to accelerate the digital transformation journey with participating companies.
Supervised by NUS faculty with the appropriate expertise for the project, students work in groups to apply one or more Industry 4.0 technologies to address difficulties or challenges raised by companies. The deliverables will be a prototype or minimum viable product, a written report and an oral presentation.
The Capstone Project is carried out over 23 weeks and is usually scheduled to run twice a year, i.e. from January to June, or from August to January. Sponsoring companies for the MSc (Smart Industries and Digital Transformation) Capstone Project will benefit from a fresh perspective and innovation approach from the students at no additional cost as this is not an internship programme. Each company is recommended to offer up to two projects for each run of this course.
