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.
