A New Model in Global Education
The Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA) is an innovative engineering education and research collaboration among the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Founded in November, 1998 to promote global engineering education and research, SMA brings together the resources of three premiere academic institutions, while providing students with unlimited access to exceptional faculty expertise and superior research facilities.

Centre of Excellence
A primary goal of SMA is the creation of a world-class centre for graduate education and research in engineering, which features technologically advanced distance learning facilities. SMA will provide opportunities for private-sector organizations to participate in SMA’s research, collaborate with its students, and recruit potential employees.

The Future of Engineering Education
SMA combines a focus on creativity and entrepreneurship with an intense, hands-on approach to research. Graduates will comprise some of the industry’s best-educated professionals, both in the growing economy of Singapore and in industrial centres across the globe. This groundbreaking collaboration among NUS, NTU and MIT represents an unwavering commitment to promoting engineering innovation and excellence.

SMA offers five programmes:

1. Advanced Materials for Micro- and Nano-Systems (AMM&NS)
   The Advanced Materials for Micro- and Nano-Systems (AMM&NS) degree programme offers a comprehensive and intensive approach to a field of study that is rapidly defining the frontier of modern technologies. [more]
2. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering (CPE)
   The Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering (CPE) degree programme offers a cutting edge curriculum in the fields of molecular engineering and process science focused on the pharmaceutical industry. [more]
3. Computation and Systems Biology (CSB)
   The Computation and Systems Biology (CSB) degree programme is a partnership between the world-recognized CSBi programme at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the visionary biology, bioengineering, and biotechnology programmes at NUS, NTU, and the A*STAR Research Institutes. [more]
4. Computational Engineering (CE)
   The Computational Engineering (CE) degree programme is collaborative between MIT, NUS, NTU, and the Research Institutes for Microelectronics (IME), High Performance Computing (IHPC), and Defense Medical Environment (DMERI). [more]
5. Manufacturing Systems and Technology (MST)
   The Manufacturing Systems and Technology (MST) degree programme is a comprehensive education and research effort that concentrates on enabling manufacturing systems and technologies for emerging industries in a global context. [more]

KUNJUNGAN SINGAPORE – MIT ALLIANCE ke TEKNIK KIMIA ITB

Singapore-MIT Alliance, joint program antara Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), National University of Singapore (NUS) dan Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, menawarkan program beasiswa (full scholarship) untuk lulusan Teknik Kimia ITB yang berminat untuk melanjutkan studi melalui program Chemical & Pharmaceutical Engineering. Program yang ditawarkan adalah direct PhD, jadi lulusan S1 TK ITB dapat mendaftarkan diri.

Kami akan mengunjugi TK ITB pada tanggal 30 dan 31 Oktober 2007. Promosi akan diberikan langsung oleh professor-professor NUS/MIT. Dalam event ini, mahasiswa/alumni TK ITB yang berminat untuk meneruskan studi dapat bertanya lebih banyak tentang program Singapore-MIT Alliance, juga perkuliahan dan stufy life di Singapore dan USA, khususnya di MIT, Cambridge.

Dalam kunjungan tersebut selain promosi program Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA), juga akan diberikan kuliah tamu dari professor SMA. Kuliah tamu ini sedikit banyak akan menjelaskan semcama apa kira-kira jenis research yang akan ditawarkan. Untuk keterangan lebih lanjut tentang kunjungan ini, dapat dilihat di attachment dan pada poster yang ditempel di papan pengumuman Lantai 1.

Kami sangat mengharapkan kedatangan alumni, mahasiswa yang akan lulus tahun ini, maupun mahasiswa yang masih akan lulus 1-2 tahun ke depan. Penerimaan mahasiwa adalah per bulan Januari dan Juli, jadi bagi mahasiswa yang akan lulus tahun depan dan berminat untuk mendaftarkan diri, disarakankan untuk berpartisipasi dalam event ini, karena event semacam ini belum tentu akan dilakukan lagi tahun depan.

NB: Event ini diadakan di Ruang X-239. TEMPAT TERBATAS. Bagi yang berminat harap mendaftarkan diri ke Mbak Remi. Alumni dapat mendaftarkan diri ke Mbak Remi lewat e-mail: Remi@che.itb.ac.id

Harap mendaftarkan diri sebelum tanggal 25 Oktober 2007.
