The Renaissance EngineerPavatharani Senthil KumarAerospace Technology graduateClass of 2016

From young, Pavatharani has always wanted to be a pilot and was curious how aircraft worked. In fact, tinkering with toys by taking them apart and fixing them afterward was something that came naturally to her. Undeterred by gender norms, she aspires to be one of the rare female leaders in the aerospace industry and intends to make the industry more eco-friendly. She has accepted an offer to read the prestigious Renaissance Engineering Programme at Nanyang Technological University, under the Renaissance Engineering Programme Scholarship.

The Top HonchoAlfred Heng Wee LoonElectrical Engineering graduateClass of 2003

Armed with an electrical engineering background, Alfred is now the General Manager of Meiden Singapore Switchgear Plant. Besides driving the business at the top, he is also passionate about providing opportunities for NP students to learn and grow in the field. Be it through the SkillsFuture Earn and Learn Programme, internship or mentorship programme, he is giving it his utmost support. He sees this as a way of giving back to NP. After all, he had experienced failure before and was given the second chance to bloom in NP, where he topped his cohort and went on to excel in the field of electrical engineering.

The AerospaceDesignerJonathan YongMechatronic Engineering graduateClass of 2004

While at NP, Jonathan had all the makings of a successful inventor. He won a silver award at the prestigious Tan Kah Kee Young Inventors Award for his unmanned aerial vehicle. As the top student ofhis course, Jonathan secured a Defence Science & Technology scholarship to pursue a degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. In his final year at the university, he was awarded the National Scholarship from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and subsequently graduated with top honours in Aerospace Engineering. Jonathan later earned a Masters in Aerospace Systems Engineering. Jonathan is now working as a Senior Research Engineer and UAV test pilot for DSO National Laboratories.

The IT Security Specialist Wong Kee HuiNetwork Systems & Security graduateClass of 2016

Kee Hui’s passion for computer games spurred him to enrol in the Nitec course in Info-Communications Technology, where he realised his potential in the network systems field. His good results in ITE eventually earned him a spot in NP. He continued to shine in NP and was awarded the Tay Eng Soon Gold Medal upon graduation. Even though he has secured a place in Nanyang Technological University to read Computer Science, Kee Hui is also considering working in the field first and taking up certification courses to become an IT security specialist. He is, after all, a true believer in the unconventional route!
