Exciting career opportunities await you upon your graduation.You can develop your career as a Mechatronics and RoboticsTechnologist in the automated and high valued biomedicaland pharmaceutical manufacturing industries. There is alwaysa high demand for mechatronics graduates in the fields ofconsumer electronics, automation, semiconductors and datastorage, communications, research and development andmany more.Further StudiesYou can gain direct entry into the second year of relatedengineering degree programmes at local and foreignuniversities.“I chose DMA (now renamed DMRO) becauseI love the art of creation. Mechatronics hasenabled me to build from scratch, incorporatemechanical parts with electronics andprogram movement in the end product. MySP education has forged a strong careerpath for me.”– Kyi Hla Win, Class of 2011 from DMA (now revampedas DMRO), will be pursuing an engineering degree.49
Preparatory Programmes for SP<strong>Engineering</strong> StudentsThere are several special programmes for SP engineering students.One of them is the Preparatory Mathematics Programme designedspecifically to bridge the Mathematics foundation of students who didnot take Additional Mathematics at the GCE ‘O’ Level examinations.Prior to starting your diploma courses, you will undergo a threeweekonline programme. You will be given a review of the relevantmathematics topics that will prepare you for your first year. Consultancywill also be provided by lecturers from the School of Mathematics& Science.For ITE students, the Preparatory Mathematics programme hasbeen customised to include face-to-face lessons.Preparatory Programmes to prepare SPstudents for university educationThe opportunities for SP engineering graduates to pursue a universitydegree have increased significantly. The Preparatory Programmesare specially designed to prepare you for university education.Students who have done very well at the ‘O’ Levels or excelledin the first year of study at SP with good grades in Mathematicswill be offered an opportunity to take the Advanced MathematicsModules. Students who have successfully completed the 3 advancedmathematics modules may be considered for advanced standingand/or module exemption in local and overseas universities.The mathematics knowledge gained through the AdvancedMathematics Modules will help you to develop analytical, logicalthinking and problem solving skills. The training in advancedengineering mathematics will give you a solid foundation whenyou proceed to the university. It will help you to achieve a smootherassimilation to the degree course.50
