So instead of learning the A to Z of physics, youwill learn the specific bits of maths, the exact engineering know-how todraw and analyse data from smart sensors, and top it all off with publicspeaking skills — so that you can present your findings and make yourwork count.A key feature of the PCM: It is co-built, and in some cases co-taught,by industry majors and leading companies. You may also get additionalindustry certifications while getting your diploma!Because these companies are at the forefront of their expertise areas,your course will continue to remain relevant and desirable.So far, Microsoft, Oracle Academy, Ubisoft, NVIDIA and Shimadzu —among others — are involved in co-creating PCM courses with us.Visit www.nyp.edu.sg for more tiktok.com/@nanyangpolyinstagram.com/nanyangpoly
