This is an intensive one-year S.M. degree programme that requires students to engage both in coursework and an industry project. These projects straddle multiple disciplines in addition to requiring collaborative work effort between students and their project supervisors.
The Ph.D. degree takes between three to four years to complete and combines both research and coursework. Through a constant dialogue with Singapore and MIT fellows, research topics are conceived and formulated. The embarkation of research projects is set out upon after thorough discussion of their relevance and potential impact. Each Ph.D. research project is co-supervised by MIT and Singapore Fellows.
   
 
 

       Teaching and Supervision


Courses and research activities at SMA are jointly conducted and co-supervised by approximately 50 professors from MIT and another 60 from NUS, NTU and the National Research Institutes (NRIs). The delivery of class instruction takes place not only through conventional face-to-face classroom settings but also through lectures conducted at MIT in real time. Students and Fellows at MIT communicate through the use of Internet2, a state-of-the-art interactive distance learning technology. In addition, MIT Fellows make annual visits which may last up to a semester at each time.

In 2003/2004, the MIT Fellows who visited Singapore for teaching and research interaction included:
