PSA Singapore and Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) celebrated the graduation of the first batch of 29 PSA engineers and ICT managers from SIT’s Systems Engineering programme. The two organisations had signed a Memorandum of Understanding in March 2017 on various collaborations which include, amongst others, developing and implementing a training programme focusing on automation technology systems in preparation for PSA’s future Tuas port.

The part-time 12-month Systems Engineering programme is developed by SIT’s lifelong learning division, SITLEARN Professional Development, in partnership with PSA. It equips course participants with deep, practical skills to appreciate the inter-relationships between various systems, and to design and maintain complex automated systems which are vital for PSA’s new generation of ultra-modern and intelligent container terminals.

The introduction of this course has been timely as PSA sharpens its competitive edge with the extensive use of port automation technology and intelligent inter-connected systems in Pasir Panjang Terminals and for the future Tuas port in Singapore. The graduates will join a growing group of specialists in PSA who are adept at managing such systems as PSA expands its capabilities in these fields.
