1. Industrial Electronics in Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP): Our Singapore ExperienceEngr. Jeffrey T. Dellosa ECE Faculty / Web AdministratorCaraga State University(www.carsu.edu.ph) Sharing for the 3rd Caraga ICT Congress Almont Inland Resort and Hotel Convention Center February 24, 2011

2. Why were we in SG? • Study and learn the academic management system of NYP / Polytechnic Schools in Singapore • Improve our technical competence (the Filipino faculty) in Industrial Electronics and Mechatronics

3. Our Sponsors

4. Sharing Topics • Singapore/NYP Academic System and Curriculum and NYP’s Teaching Factory Concepts • Training proceedings on PLC, Embedded System and Motion Control

5. Training Proceedings • Week 1: Digital Systems • Week 2: Motion Control • Week 3: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) • Week 4: Mini – Project on Motion Control • Week 5: Mini – Project on PLC • Week 6: Mini – Project on Embedded Systems Singapore in Google Map

6. Singapore’s Academic Model

7. The Training Institution • Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) is one of the premiere polytechnic schools in Singapore. • An ISO9000, ISO9001, and an ISO14001 certified academic institution • Recipient of several institutional awards such as the: • Singapore Innovation Class Award • Hewitt Best Employer Award • People Excellence Award • Singapore Environmental Excellence Award

8. NYP’s Teaching Factory Concept • Emulating and integrating the real-life industrial environment with the teaching and learning environment • Project work is an integral component -- a platform for students to draw from the pool of knowledge and skills learned and apply them in real-life multi-disciplinary environment

9. NYP’s Teaching Factory Concept • COLLABORATION • Strategic Win-win Partnership with the Industry and a multi-approach & multi-level collaborations: • Technology Leaders such as:

18. Training Proceedings Digital Systems (Week 1, Sept. 13–17, 2010) Scope: • The C Language • The Number System • The Microcontroller architecture • The Microcontroller digital output • Microcontroller Timers and Counters • Microcontroller Serial Port Interface • Microcontroller Interrupt System • A LOT of Programming in C

19. Training Proceedings Motion Control (Week 2, Sept. 20–24, 2010) Scope: • Power Electronics • MOTORS • Stepper Motor • Servo Motors • Motion Control Applications: Encoder • Motion Control Applications: H-Bridge

20. Training Proceedings Programmable Controllers (Week 3, Sept. 27–Oct. 1, 2010) Scope: • PLC Technology: Electromechanical Relays • PLC (Features, Types, Industry Applications) • PLC Programming using Omron • Introduction to FluidSIM-P (Simulation to relay circuits)

21. Training Proceedings Mini-Project in Motion Control (Week 4, Oct. 4-8, 2010) Scope: • Implementation of an H-Bridge Circuit to Control a motor. • Implementation of a DC Motor Driver

22. Training Proceedings Mini-Project in PLC (Week 5, Oct. 10-14, 2010) Scope: • Design and Implementation of a Traffic System using OMRON PLC.

23. Training Proceedings Mini-Project in Embedded Systems (Week 6, Oct. 16-22, 2010) Scope: • Design/Implementation of EasyC program in a VEX Robot. • Vex Robot Competition

24. Training Proceedings • Special Lectures by Nanyang Polytechnic: • Program Briefing and Course Administration by Mr. Ng Koon Guan • Briefing on Post Training, Objectives/Deliverables by Ms. Teo Pebble • NYP Experience in Manpower Development, NYP++/ Teaching Factory Concepts by Chua Gim Peng • NYP Academic Systems and Curriculum Development by Mr. Ng Koon Guan

25. Conclusions • Learning the C language was very interesting and challenging • Learning how to implement “wire-wrapping” technology was tedious but fun in motion control • Learning PLC in a highly “industrialized academic environment” was greatly appreciated with enough resources (laboratory) for every student. • New program/software learned: Kiel C, Omron PLC & FluidSim, Easy C

26. Recommendations • Implementation of the acquired knowledge from the three major topics covered, especially on the PLC and Micro-controller programming in the subject Industrial Electronics. • Strengthen the basic programming curriculum/instruction in the department (on C language). • Design and implement laboratory modules for the use of the ECE students.

27. Recommendations • Acquire additional equipments and materials needed for the instruction/laboratory works in the ECE program • Make use of the Hitachi Lab Equipments and parts to create something new for IE. • Purchase one Vex Robot educational kit for instructional purposes in the Micro-P subject and showcase this to HS students.

28. Recommendations • Establish industry collaboration: faculty immersion during summer in the industry desired for each faculty • Adopt the “teaching factory concepts” of NYP.

29. Side Trips • TOURS sponsored by Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP): • City Tour in Singapore • Tour inside the campus of NYP and its facilities • Marina Barage • The National Orchid Garden
