ENGINEERING Science Programme at NUS has much to celebrate. Besides being all of 10 years old, Professor Wang Chien Ming, Director of the Programme, finally sees an initiative for an international symposium (something which he has set heart and soul upon some two years ago) came into fruition today.

The International Engineering Science Consortium (IESC) conducted its inaugural symposium today at the Engineering Auditorium, with nine keynote lectures by top-notch engineer scientists. In addition, 29 general papers and 12 poster presentations from faculty members and students of IESC are being featured at the two-day symposium which attracted 140 participants. There is also a student workshop as well as a competition to provide fun activity for IESC students and Ngee Ann engineering science students to showcase their creativity and innovativeness in solving engineering science problems. There were tours to the Marina Barrage, Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Bay Sands to show the beauty of Singapore.
