These are some of our electives in Singapore Polytechnic that FabLab works closely with.
Digital Fabrication & Prototyping Fundamentals (EP1000) - FabLab Elective
Eligibility: For all students
The elective is organised around a self-directed project where students develop design thinking and prototyping skills. Students will be guided through a design thinking process followed by the development of a functional prototype. Students will
apply design and digital fabrication processes for developing a functional prototype that integrates these processes. Students will practice these skills in a design studio setting.
Further Digital Fabrication & Prototyping (EP1001) - FabLab Elective
Eligibility: For all students
with a pass in EP1000
This elective module builds on the fundamentals of digital fabrication and prototyping learned in module EP1000, and they will be exposed to a greater variety and deeper knowledge of digital fabrication machines and technology. The module is organised
around a self-directed project which students will design and fabricate in the FabLab. Working in groups, students will be guided through the project development process followed by the implementation of a functional prototype. Students will
apply the design and fabrication process for developing a functional prototype that integrates both mechanical, electronics, and embedded programming technologies. Students acquire further digital fabrication skills that enable them to produce
creative and innovative solutions to challenges faced. Examples include internships, final year projects, and grad shows.
fabSTUDIO (EM0014) - ABE elective
Eligibility: For ABE student
Digital Fabrication Laboratory is a place to have fun in making, in creating and to invent! In fabSTUDIO, students will master the fundamentals of 3D printing and laser cutting through the eyes of a designer.
Transdisciplinary Innovation Project (EP0803) - MAD Elective
Eligibility: For all students
This module equips students to work in transdisciplinary teams and develop working solutions for a live industry partner. Industry experts will collaborate and mentor the teams as part of the solutioning process. Through this module students will
also be exposed to design processes, innovation and entrepreneurial vigour. This 100% in-course assessment module comprises both individual and group work.
