First batch of design and Al students graduating from SUTD; over half have got jobs already

More than half of these graduates have already secured jobs in various industries including ecommerce, telecommunications, aviation and defence technology.

Four more students from this first DAI batch will graduate with an additional master of science in technology entrepreneurship in May 2025.

Since its introduction in 2022, the DAI programme has seen a steady increase in intake, from 34 students in 2022 to 50 students in 2024.

SUTD said this degree programme is among the first of its kind worldwide, and aims to train talent to fill the acute shortage of AI manpower in the industry.

The objective is to produce graduates who can combine technical expertise in design innovation and apply AI to other disciplines.

An SUTD spokeswoman told The Straits Times that students in the degree programme undergo hands-on learning to design solutions for real-world industry projects, through a series of Al-driven design modules throughout their course of study.

Bitcoin miners pivot to South-east Asia after China crackdown

The 6.9ha cement slab in the middle of a Borneo industrial area once belonged to a logging company. Long ago, that business abandoned the site to the elements, leaving just rudimentary structures and a four-storey concrete birdhouse made to lure swiftlets whose nests, built with saliva, fetch high prices in China.
