National Education aims to develop a shared sense of nationhood through an understanding of how Singapore’s past is relevant to the present and future. It aims to equip you with the basic attitudes, values and instincts so that Singapore can thrive beyond the founder generation. This is done through a series of talks by prominent guest speakers on topics related to Singapore’s 6 vital NE messages. Non-Singaporean students are also welcome to take this subject, so as to learn more about, and better understand, the culture, values, and beliefs of Singaporeans.
This subject introduces the basics of sketching and drawing techniques. A primary component of this module is to understand the importance of proportion in drawing and the effect of light and different tones it gives on different surfaces.
This subject introduces the fundamentals of art through a variety of 3D techniques and media. The subject focuses on inculcating visual and observational skills through the tactile qualities in texture and form by feeling and working with different 3D materials.
This subject introduces students to some idea generation, analysis and synthesis techniques within a problem-solving framework. Through these techniques, students will explore and develop fluidity of thought as well as an analytical mind. This subject introduces visual literacy where students develop their personal visual language to communicate a great variety of concepts. Students will also develop and demonstrate your aesthetic awareness and design sensibility.
This subject introduces the basic principles of graphic user interface (GUI) and user experience design. It focuses on the basic rules of visual information organisation and hierarchy, and explores the process of navigation on screen. The subject examines the choice of appropriate styles and graphic treatment for the intended audience, and the use of conceptual models for creating appropriate user experience.
This subject builds upon Interface Design 1. It develops and deepens the understanding of GUI and user experience design. It focuses on the user interface of content, applications and media delivered on different platforms, and explores related emerging technologies. It also examines different ways of user testing and the use of prototypes in the interface design process.
EDM1002 Fundamentals of Digital Media Processing
This subject equips students with the fundamental knowledge of image, texture and audio editing using media processing techniques. These techniques are necessary basic building blocks in interactive digital media content development. Basic video editing skills will also be taught.
EDM2004 Advanced Digital Animation & Special Effects
This subject uses a practice oriented approach to emphasize advanced techniques of animation and special effects, including character animation, particles, lights, 3D painting, as well as customization of tools using scripts for advanced deployment.
EED2008 Product, Process and Computer Aided Design
This subject embraces a design oriented approach to creative product design. It covers product and process design, tools, needs and goals, design specifications and development concepts. Using these methodologies, learners will be able to master, assemble and generate realistic products in digital form.
EDM2003 Fundamental 3D Interactive Digital Media
This subject emphasizes virtual prototyping in product design and e-commerce application. Learners will be able to incorporate text, sound, animation, objects, and textures into a real-time interactive environment, using behaviour programming, as well as interfacing to various web applications. Learners will also be able to produce their customisable smart objects as prototypes for other environments.
NEW Systemic Project Management
This subject emphasises the life cycle of the entire project management process related to developing IDM contents and applications. It covers topics on the stages of project planning, project implementation, project closing and project teams. This subject encompasses both theory and practical skills on using project management tools.
EED2009 Rapid Prototyping and Model Making
Using various advanced rapid prototyping methodology as well as basic processing of wood, metal and plastics, learners will acquire a working knowledge of constructing physical 3D models for product presentation.
This subject provides an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge. Students will acquire the practical skills and capability of problem solving, research and design, project management and well and technical innovation in producing their own products.
EDM3003 Interactive 3D Display System
The subject provides student with the necessary knowledge of how various input and output interactive systems such as Stereoscopic Displays, Auto-stereoscopic displays, Holographic Displays, Pinch gloves, Wands, Passive and Active sensors work and how they can be used and applied in various applications.
EDM3001 Advanced Interactive Digital Media
This subject allows learners to build upon their Interactive Digital Media knowledge to incorporate interfaces into various applications. Using advanced libraries, students will be able to enhance their applications by building customizable modules and nodes, allowing in-depth understanding of interfaces and the real-time rendering engine.
EDM3002 3D Real-time Visualisation
The subject builds upon both the Modelling and Animation subject and the Fundamental 3D Interactive Digital Media subject to train students to be competent in creating photorealistic real-time interactive content. This includes the use of special rendering techniques, High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI) techniques as well as the methodology.
EDM1001 Modelling and Animation
This subject provides practical skills to enable students to create objects in 3D and to animate them aesthetically. The skills taught include creating scripts and storyboards for specification. It then follows up with fundamental theories of 3D object creation, modelling, scene composition and animation with a practice oriented approach to creating digital animation using industry grade tools.
