The
MIT Club of Singapore provides an avenue
for interaction and collaboration between
SMA students, Alumni and Fellows. It organises
social events and forums throughout the year,
giving professionals and entrepreneurs a
chance to create networking ties. It provides
a valuable forum for students and SMA professors
alike to learn more about the actual working experiences
of these professionals. The Club also shares SMA’s
aims of creating a research hub of talented students and
to develop new and dynamic engines of growth by nurturing
innovators.
The MIT Club of Singapore offers affordable membership rates
to students and alumni to enjoy many of the Club’s
privileges. In addition to that, the Club has contributed
to student book prizes for the past few years.
Workshop
SMA and the SMA Alumni Club (SMAAC) jointly organised the
SMA Innovation Seminar on 30 August 2003 at the NUS Engineering
Auditorium. Dr Gang Zou and Mr Howard Tam from Applied Materials
and 3M respectively shared their experiences and knowledge
on innovation with SMA students and alumni as well as postgraduate
students from the Engineering, Science and Computer Science
faculties of NUS. This was followed by a dialogue session
where informal exchanges took place.
