The Future of Singapore’s Energy Story
Mr Darryl Chan, Energy Market Authority (EMA)
12th November 2020, 3:30pm - 4:30pm
The energy sector has come a long way since its early days. Looking ahead, climate change is a challenge that requires us to change the way we use and produce energy. This presentation will discuss Singapore’s Energy Story and how we could harness the “4 Switches” to guide and transform our energy supply. In particular, we will explore how Singapore could leverage on emerging low-carbon energy technologies to address future challenges.

Radiation: The key to food security?
Prof Chung Keng Yeow, Singapore Nuclear Research and Safety Initiative (SNRSI)
13th November 2020, 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Radiation has many applications in agriculture, such as food irradiation, plant breeding, radioactive tracers to track plant nutrient uptake, etc. It is a technology that has been tried, tested, and used to great success in many countries. With Singapore's 30-by-30 food production target, could this be one of the solutions for Singapore to explore? In this talk, we will provide a brief overview of the different ways radiation may be used in agriculture and the science behind it, and discuss their suitability for Singapore.

CBTC signalling system – the heart and brain of our MRT
Mr Kenneth Lim, Land Transport Authority
17th November 2020, 2:30pm - 3:00pm
Serving 3.4 million trips per day, our MRT system is a crucial transport backbone, efficiently connecting people and places. Interestingly, most of our trains are driverless and fully automated. How are they controlled and operated in a safe and efficient manner? How is this complex and highly automated system tested and commissioned? In this presentation, you will learn about the state-of-the-art Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling system and how it is implemented on our MRT system.

5G + AI for a fully connected, intelligent world
Mr Paul Soon, Huawei International Pte Ltd
17th November 2020, 3:00pm - 4:00pm
To build a fully connected, intelligent world, both 5G connections and AI computing are key – they’re inseparable. Today, all industries are rushing to go digital, and artificial intelligence is all the rage. 5G as a key infrastructure enabler will form the backbone of Singapore’s Digital Economy and accelerate the digital transformation of the industries. The computing industry is booming, and its healthy growth requires an open ecosystem and global collaboration. 5G and AI will trigger disruption and spur innovation across multiple industries.

Mr B K Oberoi, Discobrakes.com Pte Ltd
My Engineering Career evolved over 50 years and I will share my experience with you. The Engineering career goes hand in hand with tools used. Engineers invent and make the inventions. Of necessity these need new tools and skills. This cycle of inventing, making and acquiring new skills drives the Engineering Career. My real life examples will show how I progressed from using slide rules to computers, digital simulation and robotics. Continuous Professional Development is key to gain new skills and exploit them. My secrets will be revealed so join me. |

Mr Siew Seng Yeow, Building and Construction Authority (BCA)
Centuries ago, there was no definition of “Engineer”. Decades ago, the definition of “engineer” was, at best, inaccurate. Today, engineers practise in more fields than ever before with high level of expertise. We now have more faith in engineering as we believe that anything can be engineered and any problem can be solved. However, we are often too focus on the end results and neglected the people behind the works. In this fast changing world, engineering career has also evolved rapidly. Coupled with the advancement in technology, we can look at how some of the changes in engineering as a career and unveils opportunities where technologies can complement the way new engineering works. Join us in this workshop to feel the power of engineering as a career option.
