Industry Sponsored FYP

    Real Industry Problems. Real Engineering Solutions. Real Talent Development.

    The IS-FYP programme connects NTU MAE students with industry partners to work on real engineering challenges over a full academic year. Companies gain fresh ideas and technical exploration — students gain deep, practical, industry-ready experience.

    Build solutions. Develop talent. Drive innovation — together.

    🎯 Why IS-FYP Matters

    IS-FYP goes beyond academic projects. It creates structured, industry-linked engineering work that delivers practical outcomes and professional exposure.

    • Industry-defined problem statements

    • Joint supervision by faculty and industry mentors

    • Year-long deep technical engagement

    • Practical deliverables and measurable outcomes

    • Strong university–industry collaboration platform


    🔧 Project Scope Areas

    Projects may span Mechanical, Aerospace, and Robotics Engineering, including:

    • Product & system development
    • Simulation and computer modelling
    • Design, build & test projects
    • Experimental investigations
    • Applied engineering analysis

    All projects must demonstrate clear industrial relevance and engineering depth.

    📊 Structured & Supported

    Every IS-FYP project includes:

    • Joint supervision (Faculty + Industry)
    • Kick-off, interim, and final reviews
    • Interim and Final Report
    • Formal Oral Presentation upon completion

    Students are graded by NTU MAE faculty under university academic standards.

    🔐 IP & Confidentiality Protection

    Designed to be industry-safe and collaboration-friendly:

    • Background IP remains with the original owner
    • New IP terms agreed through separate written agreements
    • Confidential information formally protected
    • Student confidentiality undertakings required
    • Report embargo options available where necessary

    📅 Flexible Entry Routes

    Projects can be initiated through:

    • Faculty–industry collaborations
    • Direct company proposals (via IS-FYP e-form)
    • Extension from internship or professional attachment projects
    • Two project cycles run each year for flexible participation.

    📌Final Year Project (FYP) Timeline

    There are two FYP cycles each calendar year, allowing students to commence their Final Year Project in either Semester 1 or Semester 2.
