The SMRT Engineering Excellence Endowment
The SMRT Professorship in Transportation Studies was established in 2000 with a $1.5 million donation from SMRT to attract top academics and professionals in transportation to NTU.
Initially, the professorship funded visiting professors, including:- Professor Tony Ridley, Imperial College, UK
- Professor Vukan R. Vuchic, University of Pennsylvania, USA
- Professor Tony May, University of Leeds, UK
- Professor Graham Victor Currie, Monash University, Australia
These experts shared their insights to enhance NTU's transportation studies.
Now, the fund also supports Renaissance Engineering Programme (REP) scholarships, research, and final-year projects in transportation engineering.
