Diploma in Telematics & Media Technology
Come create the next big wave of digital innovations!
Today, telematics and media technologies are bringing many innovative solutions that create new business value and great customer experiences to the global marketplace. Industries verticals from Consumer Electronics to Smart Homes, from Interactive and Digital Media to Healthcare, from Defense and Security to Advanced Manufacturing are radically engaged with rapid growth.
Moving forward into the next digital decade, the media and telematics industry promises to be even more exciting, driven by high definition audio and video experiences, services and information whenever and wherever, and the power of human-device interfaces.
As Singapore moves into the next digital decade, guided by the IN2015 master plan, its vision to become an interactive digital manpower hub where creative and business savvy technologists will be in high demand.
Also, Singapore’s quest to become a global design and R&D base has magnified the need for these technologists with multidisciplinary engineering knowledge of design & development, and an innovative and enterprising mindset.
What does the landscape of opportunity look like for you in this rapidly growing industry? Imagine you working on advanced sensors and communication system for the Formula-one technical team, or creating telemedicine application that extends the reach of medical personnel over wide geographic areas, or developing intelligent transportation solution that facilitates safe and efficient movement of vehicles and goods.
The Diploma in Telematics and Media Technology offers a chance to turn your curiosity and passion for technology into successful careers.
There are many exciting possibilities and tremendous opportunities awaiting for the well trained graduates in the various industry verticals that are enabled by media and telematics technology. Multi-National Corporations such as such as Microsoft, Siemens, Intel, Motorola and Local Enterprises, such as ST Electronics, SingTel, InfoTrack etc are today in the businesses of providing solutions in the areas of logistics and transportations, car infotainment system, healthcare etc, and your skills learnt in this course will enable you to contribute right upon graduation.
Course Aims
The Diploma in Telematics and Media Technology develops your competence in creating innovative products and solutions that are used in diverse industry sectors such as in infotainment, healthcare, logistics, intelligent transportations etc, where the demands of a highly mobile work-force requires timely and relevant information anytime and anywhere in order to make informed decisions. You will be part of a dynamic and innovative professional team engaging in the design, development, and integration of next generation products and solutions for helping individuals and businesses having fulfilling work and play.
This course will equip the students with the skill-sets and knowledge in the broad areas of electronics, infocomm, telematics and media technologies that are common in today’s electronic products, such as, for example, the mobile phone with navigation maps. You will also be trained to integrate all the learnt skill-sets into the design, development and deployment of systems and products for businesses and end users. To complement the core technologies, students will also learn project management skills; learn other soft-skills such as technopreneurship, creative thinking; and even learn to speak a foreign language. In their final year, students will undergo full-time attachment in relevant local companies or have opportunities to attach to overseas’ companies to gain real-life experiences and industrial exposures.
Duration: 3 academic years on a full-time basis.
Career Prospects
This course will prepare graduates well for exciting careers across diverse industry sectors. You will be able to fill positions as a/an:
Hardware Engineer
Software Engineer
Assistant researcher
Sales Engineer
Business Development Executive
Customer Account Manager
Project Manager
working in areas such as project management, hardware and software design and development, product design and testing, process and quality improvement, maintenance, marketing, sales and services. You will also be well-equipped to be a technopreneur or even be your own boss.
Entry Requirements
Applicants for diploma courses must obtain the following minimum "O"-Level results:
English Language (EL1) Grade 1 - 7
Elementary/Additional Mathematics Grade 1 - 6
A relevant Science subject Grade 1 - 6
Please see section on Entry Requirements for Diploma Courses for more details.
Further Studies Opportunities
For students who want to further their studies upon graduation, the course curriculum has been structured to enable them to achieve advanced standing in undergraduate programmes in local and foreign universities.
Course Structure
The first year of the curriculum focuses on the development of strong electronics, infocomm and media fundamentals. Students will undertake projects that enable them to apply, develop and integrate their knowledge and skills acquired in the various modules.The second year curriculum will build upon the first year foundation with a focus on telematics hardware, and informatics & software know-how. The integration of these technologies to develop systems and products will be emphasized.In the third year, students are offered the opportunity to choose one of the two electives, the System Design Elective and the Product Design Elective. The System Design Elective develops students with the capabilities to create integrated media and telematics solutions to meet the business needs of the enterprise. The Product Design Elective will equip students with the knowledge and skills to design and develop productsboth hardware and software.
Every semester is designed with lots of opportunities for students to enhance their learning experiences through practical projects in our state-of-the-art laboratories, such as the NYP-
Microsoft Centre for Telematics and Media Technologies. Furthermore, one full semester is dedicated for students to undergo a 6-month Industrial Attachment Programme (IAP) or a 3-month full-time Project Development and a 3-month Industrial Attachment Programme in relevant companies. The attachment programme could also be an Overseas Industrial Placement Programme.
