NUS Open House '09

On 14th and 15th of March, the NUS Open House '09 was held at National University of Singapore. Engineering Science Programme took part in this big event, almost all the teaching staffs and administrative staffs took their time to manage the booth during these two days. Apart from the staffs, students from ESP also took part in this event.

The students and staffs on shift tried their very best to explain the essential informations about ESP to the prospective students so that they will understand this programme better. As a result of thier hard efforts, many people who came for enquiries were mostly interested and planning to enroll in this programme.

At 14th March, 6pm, all the students and staffs went back home with a sense of accomplishment and looking forward to the future batch of excellent students.

ESP Year Two Design Project - Nickel Electroplating

On 20 Feb 2009, the Year Two students in ESP completed their design projects in the field of Electrochemistry, titled "Nickel Electroplating", where students were expected to carry out electroplating onto copper plate provided in the lab and find ways to improve the quality while studying respective effects.

With materials such as Nickel Sulfamate, Boric Acid, and several chemicals. 10 groups of ESP students carried out their own design of the experiments. Some groups designed their very own plating bath set up to achieve optimal plating solution such as temperature controlling, agitation, stiring, etc. Groups of students strive to achieve the best plating results by reducing pits, improving magnetic properties, uniformity, lustre,etc. Instead of power point presentations, poster presentations were requested by professors, whereby every group will design a poster and deliver a 15-minute presentation.

From the very first design project of Year 2, students started with powerpoint presentations, business presentations and followed by poster presentation. This really gave students an opportunity to appreciate each type of presentation as a form of training before entering the workplace in the near future.  Truly, it is an unique experience.
