Polytechnics step up autonomous mobility training as industry needs evolve
From longer internships to training in driver-assistance systems, polytechnics in Singapore are strengthening their curriculum to prepare students for a future with self-driving vehicles.
Singapore's polytechnics are enhancing their curriculum to train students for roles in autonomous mobility, driven by a rising demand for cross-disciplinary skills that combine software, hardware and artificial intelligence. Autonomous vehicles navigate using sensors, cameras and AI, making decisions on steering, acceleration or braking.
Polytechnics are also seeking stronger industry collaborations, with Singapore's $800 million transport research and innovation investment expected to create more opportunities for students to work on emerging technologies. Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Republic Polytechnic are already offering hands-on experience and expanding internships, aiming to give students deeper exposure to autonomous mobility.
The polytechnics hope to capitalize on the government's funding push to develop projects that align with Singapore's future mobility priorities.
