The Metrology Lab at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) was proposed as a centralized collaboration space. It was envisioned to support various research areas, including Chemistry, Pedagogy Innovation, Technology, and Design. The lab was part of an initiative funded by the SUTD-MIT IDC Infrastructure Grant, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary research and collaboration in the field of metrology and related sciences. This laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities that are integral to the university’s focus on research and education in digital manufacturing and design.

Fifteen years ago, Dyson began its journey in Singapore with a small engineering team focused on creating the world’s fastest, smallest digital electric motor. Singapore was chosen for its skilled workforce and supply chain capabilities in technology manufacturing. This venture, initially laden with challenges, eventually revolutionized global standards in home cleaning and hair styling, significantly reducing electricity consumption and material use in vacuum cleaners. Dyson’s Singapore-made motors, now numbering over 100 million, reflect the country’s dedication to innovation and engineering, a commitment further underscored by Singapore being Dyson’s Global Headquarters. James Dyson’s engineering career, rooted in design school, underscores the importance of unconventional thinking and boldness in problem-solving, principles central to Dyson’s approach in research, design, and development. This philosophy drives Dyson’s pioneering work in technology and is integral to the education of future engineers, fostering multidisciplinary skillsets in hardware and software integration. The collaboration with SUTD, supported by the James Dyson Foundation, aims to inspire young minds in engineering and science through hands-on experiences in advanced fields like Intelligent Robotics and Machine Learning. Dyson’s commitment to nurturing future engineers is evident in their significant investment in engineering education in Singapore, emphasizing the importance of experimentation, embracing failure, and challenging norms in engineering and scientific innovation.
