ABOUT IET AND IET-NTU STUDENT SECTION

NTU is proud to be the first varsity in Singapore with IET's (Institution of Engineering and

Technology) presence. IET is one of the worlds leading professional societies for the

engineering and technology community based in UK, having more than 150,000 members in 127

countries and offices in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. It aims to provide a global

knowledge network to facilitate the exchange of ideas and promote the positive role of science,

engineering and technology in the world. We, IET-NTU Student Section, aim to provide a

smoother transition from the academic realm to working life for the engineering undergraduate.

IET NTU Student Chapter is proud to present IET Greentech 2011.

GREEN TECHNOLOGY AND ITS FUTURE

Green technology is a technology which is environmentally friendly. It is created and used in a

way that conserves natural resources and the environment. It is also referred to as environmental

technology and clean technology. Green technology is a field of new, innovative ways to make

changes in daily life.

Currently, this Clean Technology is in the beginning stages of its development, so the future will

only bring bigger and better things for this field. In Singapore, S$350 million worth of public

funding has been committed to green technology, which runs the gamut from solar power, fuel

cells, and wind power.

OBJECTIVES OF IET GREENTECH

IET GreenTECH is a large scaled and inspiring event that IET-NTU Student Section is going to

hold in NTU. By organizing this meaningful event, we hope to:

1. Promote lively projects and activities to capture the imagination and show how science -

its impacts, uses and applications.

2. Provide a platform for the innovative project teams to display their most up to date

projects and research results

3. Cultivate environmental awareness among NTU students.

4. Raise and enhance the scientific awareness among the NTU students

5. Stimulate creativity and enthusiasm for inventing, creating, designing and researching

among the local undergraduates.

6. Promote the society - IET to students and recruit more members to join the global

professional global network.

IET GREENTECH

GreenTECH, under the umbrella of IET, is a large scaled event which serves as a platform to

NTU students to showcase their latest inventions and products based on technologies which are

environmental friendly. This event will not only create environmental awareness, but will also

promote lively projects and activities to capture the imagination among NTU students.

Students who have novel ideas and projects are beckoned to come forward and leverage on this

opportunity to share with the audience what their ideals and projects can do to help Singapore

move towards a sustainable future. Last year 17 project teams from various schools in NTU

participated and benefitted tremendously from the exchange of ideas. This year, leveraging on

the success of the previous GreenTECH 2010, we are intending to make IET GreenTECH 2011

bigger and better than the previous year. Apart from the schools in NTU, we aim to involve other

varsities this year. In addition, we will

i) Invite companies which are engaged in green technology to showcase their products

as well as share their experiences with the NTU community. These companies could

be Singapore Environmental Achievement Awards (SEAA) Winners who were

recognized for their green practices and commitment towards sustainable

development. Eg: Gammon Construction Ltd, Samwoh, SilosoBeach Resort .

(http://www.greenbusinesstimes.com)

ii) Invite government/ semi govt. representatives who are actively involved in promoting

green technology, e.g. Executive Director of SIMTech (Singapore Institute of

manufacturing Technology) who have collaborated with Swede ns LinkopingUniversity for research on areas of remanufacturing, clean production technology

processes and industrial symbiosis, the heads of the Singapore Environment Council

(SEC) and the Singapore Manufacturers Federation (SMa) ,

iii) Invite NTU professors to display their research projects of inventions that are related

to green technology,

iv) Contact Ureca students who are engaged in green tech projects to showcase their

projects and findingsv) Invite teams from various varsities such as NUS and Polytechnics to showcase their

research projects related to Green Technology

The invited teams will have the opportunity to share their experience and the ideas behind their

hard work and effort on our stage. 15 minutes of on stage presentation at the opening ceremony

regarding their prototype will be given to each invited teams. This will give NTU students a

better idea of how these prototypes function and keep abreast with the latest technologies and

innovation in the 21 st century. Furthermore, the teams that are involved in the event will be able

to exchange ideas and knowledge in our meaningful event.
