Nus Institute For Engineering Leadership

The Institute for Engineering Leadership, based in the Faculty of Engineering, National University of Singapore, advocates the nurturing of engineer-leaders through innovation and entrepreneurship learning experiences. We aim to nurture engineers who can deal with uncertainty & change, and leverage on engineering & tech know-how to create & capture value. We define engineer-leaders as individuals who are strategic systems thinkers and value creators, able to identify technological innovation opportunities and engage people around them to deliver sustainable growth with societal impact. Our programmes and modules are crafted to provide opportunities for engineering students to complement their technical skills with value-creation and value-capture skills, and to develop soft skills. Graduate programmes: 1. Enterprise Development - Powering Tech Enterprises 2. Frugal Innovation: Doing More with Less 3. TechLaunch - Taking Tech to Market Undergraduate programme: InnoVenture: Innovating Tech and Business Solutions All our programmes provide opportunities for student teams to work directly with industry stakeholders or tech/research leads. They are supported throughout the programmes by peer and business mentors as well as instructors who not only guide them in the real deliverables to stakeholders but also support their individual leadership and team development. These programmes can also be modified to provide short courses and workshops to a range of audience - from high school students keen to start embarking on leading with tech, to working professionals and companies wanting to explore how they can leverage technology and lead in creating value.
