The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is the fourth autonomous university to be established in Singapore. SUTD's mission is to advance knowledge and nurture technically grounded leaders and innovators to serve societal needs. At SUTD, design as a discipline cuts across the curriculum and provides a novel framework for the research and educational programmes. SUTD undergraduate students are granted either a Bachelor of Engineering or a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in one of its four areas of focus, called "pillars": Architecture and Sustainable Design (ASD), Engineering Product Development (EPD), Engineering Systems Design (ESD) or Information Systems and Technology Design (ISTD). It also offers an MIT–SUTD Dual master's degree programme, a full-time programme leading to a degree from both MIT and SUTD. SUTD also offers Ph.D. degrees in each of its four pillars. SUTD is the only institution in Singapore apart from the Yale-NUS College to follow a holistic admissions process. ==History== The university opened its doors at its Dover Road interim campus in April 2012. Its permanent campus at Changi opened in January 2015. It is the only university to be located in the eastern part of Singapore. The new campus is located next to Upper Changi MRT Station on the Downtown Line Stage 3 which will be operational in 2017. The founding president is Thomas L. Magnanti, who is a Professor with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).〔 〕 SUTD's collaboration with MIT represents MIT's most significant collaboration on education in the world. It is multifaceted and covers the following: *Development of the undergraduate curriculum *Co-teaching of subjects by MIT faculty *Student exchanges *Recruitment and development of SUTD faculty *Establishment of a major co-located research centre, SUTD–MIT International Design Centre (IDC) Exchanges between MIT and SUTD students encourage the same spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship that has made MIT a top-ranking university. MIT also brings its rich global experience and entrepreneurial ecosystem to SUTD, a spirit that has led to tremendous entrepreneurial success among its alumni, and is replicated in SUTD through a novel pedagogy and a vibrant engagement with the industry. Besides building up SUTD's educational capabilities, MIT contributes to SUTD's research capability by developing relevant research programmes through their top-class faculty. SUTD and Zhejiang University (ZJU) will also jointly partake in research collaborations to address challenges associated with the world today, in areas such as healthcare, transportation, clean energy and the environment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Singapore University of Technology and Design」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
