multimedia packages, allowing you to carry out self-paced
e-learning, made all the more accessible via Internetenabled PCs throughout the campus; enthusing you for
self-directed lifelong learning. This successful e-learning
framework is made possible by our Accumulated
Experience Sharing (AES) innovation, an in-house
repository of knowledge and experiences gained from past
industry projects completed by NYP students and staff.
Currently, we have over 5,000 cases captured in AES , each

within your chosen study programme.
Complementary Electives
These give you opportunities to pick up skills and
knowledge to complement your main discipline

Design Methodology

[30 hours]

Designers are often confronted with several interacting issues when


developing a design. As such, a systematic approach for gathering
appropriate information, defining needs and applying different
disciplines to create the right design, is necessary. This module
provides students with an understanding of how to approach design
creation, from the early stage of conceptual idea to the development
of a final design. It aims to develop a mindset that will deal with
any design challenge with a comprehensive examination of the
considerations.

DN1609 & DN1610


Colour Studies 1 & 2

[30 hours each]

These modules develop students understanding of colour theory and


appreciation. Students will learn the elements, principles and concepts
of colour use for enhancing design and elevating design aesthetics.
Colour theory and foundation, colour creation and applications,
emotional or environmental considerations, contrast, balance, unity,
rhythm, symmetry/asymmetry as well as colour coordination/
harmonisation are among the topics covered.

DN1612
Ergonomics 1

[30 hours]

This module gives students an understanding of human factors to


consider in design. The interaction process of humans with artefacts
forms the basis of this module. Students will learn to put together
user-centred designs which factor in the various ways products interrelate with users. Topics include informative ergonomics, cybernetic
ergonomics, and anthropometry and product safety.

students through the complete design process. Students are expected
to put the techniques/skills accumulated through the different
stages of learning into actual application. Specialised/topical themes
and problems will be used to challenge students creativity and to
enable them to apply what they have learnt in a progressive manner.
Lecturers and instructors will provide close supervision to reinforce
learning. Students will also practise their communication skills by
presenting and explaining their concepts to the target audience.
Developing teamwork is another important aspect of these modules.

international partnerships and collaborations, as well
as creates more opportunities for students and staff to
be engaged in international exchange and attachment
programmes. NYPi also facilitates the conducting of
courses for international participants who wish to learn
more about NYPs successful pedagogic and management
concepts such as the NYP Teaching Factory Concept, and
those who wish to emulate the Teaching Factory model.
NYPi is a vehicle to extend the NYP Teaching Factory
and other concepts, NYPs expertise and NYPs education
and training programmes into the region and beyond.
NYPi contributes towards the development of NYP
into a global polytechnic of distinction. This was endorsed
by Minister for Education Heng Swee Keat in his speech
delivered at the dinner on 30 March 2012 to celebrate NYPs
20th Anniversary: NYP has made significant progress
in twenty years, to deliver a world-class, high-quality
polytechnic education to our young generation today.
To date, NYPi has conducted courses for more than 16,000
international participants from over 40 countries worldwide.
It offers programmes in NYP concepts for technical and
vocational education and specialised areas in information
communication technology, multimedia and digital
animation technology, advanced manufacturing technology,
mechatronics technology, electronics engineering, life
sciences, nursing and healthcare, business management,
institute management and pedagogy.
NYPi offers a wide range of manpower development
programmes for overseas professionals, where training is
customised to meet the specific requirements of the client

446

organisations and participants. These programmes support


the Singapore Governments initiatives, as well as meet the
training needs of the various overseas organisations.
Participants of the training programmes include senior
government officials, academics, principals and specialist
staff of technical colleges, and senior management staff
from the public and private sectors. They have consistently
given excellent feedback on the quality of training received,
the professionalism and dedication of NYP staff, and the
friendship and hospitality they have experienced.
These programmes provide opportunities for our staff
to visit cities in regional countries and to interact with their
senior officials and professionals. This allows them to better
understand the countries social, economic and political
trends and developments. As a result, our staff are able to
incorporate a regional and international perspective into their
teaching, helping our students gain a better appreciation and
understanding of different cultures and practices.
In addition, students have opportunities for overseas
exposure from the four student project centres in China,
which have been set up with the support of NYPi. They are
located in Beijing, Suzhou, Guangzhou and Chengdu. NYPi
and NYP aim to inculcate in our students a global mindset
and inspire them to take on the challenges of a fastchanging world.

ORGANISATIONAL EXCELLENCE JOURNEY

hile striving for excellence in teaching, curriculum,


environment and administration, NYP has pioneered innovative
business concepts and processes; and is among the first educational institutions
to be awarded certifications in various areas of business excellence.

SINGAPORE QUALITY AWARD

PS PREMIER AWARD
In 2012, the Public Service Division conferred on NYP
the Public Service Premier Award, which recognises the
sustained efforts of public agencies to achieve and maintain
pinnacle levels of Organisational Excellence. NYP plays an
important role in manpower development by providing
industry-relevant polytechnic education and training. It
pursues excellence by building on foundations anchored on
organisational culture, concept, capability, and connection.
Moulded by our values and shaped by our heritage and
history, the NYP culture unites our people for a common
purpose. As a Polytechnic committed to producing
graduates who are innovative and enterprising, we stay
up-to-date with advances in science and technology.
We also develop effective and innovative approaches
to succeed in our endeavours as well as invest in our
connections and collaborations with key industry players,
government agencies, and other educational institutions.

NYP was conferred the Singapore Quality Award


(SQA) in 2011, the highest award for business
excellence in Singapore. This award is presented
to organisations which have demonstrated
outstanding management capabilities and
delivered superior performance and results.
The awards assessment framework is aligned
with those that are adopted in the United States,
Europe, Japan and Australia, reflecting the best-inclass practices of world-class organisations. As part
of the journey towards the SQA, NYP has been a
member of the Singapore Quality Class (SQC) since
1999 and attained the SQC Star in 2010.

PEOPLE EXCELLENCE AWARD


NYP was conferred the People Excellence Award
in 2005. This pinnacle award recognises the
best-of-the-best People Developer organisations
that have met criteria such as exceptionally
well-defined and innovative people development
approach that is fully integrated with the needs
of the organisation and its people, and a people
development approach that is well-deployed in all
key areas of the organisation and for all levels of
staff. NYP was first awarded the People Developer
Standard (PDS) in 1999 which signifies our strong
tradition of capability development, learning by
doing and investing in human capital.
