The proposal calls for the public sector to offer competitive salaries for engineers, professional engineering bodies to work together to raise the profile and value of engineering and engineers, and collaborations between universities and industry to reinvent the curriculum and provide scholarships to attract top students to take up engineering programmes. The proposal was adopted by the Academy and circulated to all Fellows for comments and expression of interests. As this is an on-going effort, Professor Hang Chang Chieh and Dr Raj Thampuran will continue to engage the public sector agencies to find new ways to boost the image of engineering and publicise the bright career opportunities of engineers in Singapore to the students and their parents.
