The field trip in Singapore for EIU students, held from September 23 to 29, was packed with enriching activities. This experience provided students with the opportunity to explore international learning and working environments while honing knowledge and essential skills for their future.
EIU students visit leading technology corporations in Singapore
During the trip, EIU students had the chance to visit top technology corporations such as Hai Robotics, Schaefer SSI, and Omron Automation Center. At these companies, students were exposed to cutting-edge technologies ranging from automation robots and artificial intelligence to advanced industrial solutions. These experiences offered a practical perspective on technological advancements and their applications in real life. Beyond enhancing professional knowledge, the trip allowed students to develop soft skills, teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability to professional working environments.
Learning and networking at EIU’s educational partners
In addition to visiting major corporations, the students also engaged with EIU’s educational partners in Singapore, including Nanyang Polytechnic and Republic Polytechnic. Through discussions and exchanges with students from these institutions, EIU students gained a comprehensive, multifaceted view of the contrasts between the two countries’ education systems. This insight helped them set goals and make plans for their academic and career paths.
The trip also offered engaging cultural experiences. EIU students explored iconic Singaporean landmarks such as Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa Island while discovering the unique blend of cultures reflected in the nation’s cuisine, customs, and lifestyle. These activities not only helped students relax after academic sessions but also broadened their cultural understanding and life experiences.
Reflecting on the trip, the students shared, “The study tour was not only a valuable learning journey but also an opportunity for us to grow and develop holistically. It will undoubtedly serve as a significant milestone, boosting our confidence for the journey ahead./.
