HIMTRI Singapore Study Tour 2013: Explore Industrial Engineering in Different Views

On November 28, Himpunan Mahasiswa Teknik Industri (Student Association of Industrial Engineering) together with the IIE Chapter carried out a Study Tour to Singapore. They visited The Logistics Institute of Asia Pacific (TLI-AP) at National University of Singapore (NUS) – IIE senior chapter, and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). During the visit, students learnt about the systems engineering as well as the possibility to pursue higher education in these two institutions. They also had a chance to visit the laboratories facility in the SUTD. As part of the relaxing-your-mind activity, the tour included visit to Universal Studio Singapore, Garden by The Bay, and Marina Bay Sands which help the students indirectly to understand about how queuing, service, and technology work in Singapore. By taking the MRT to visit various places during the tour, students also found out how various Industrial Engineering concepts are applicable to support human’s needs.
