The Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA) is a graduate education and research collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
CIT facilitates the audio-visual conferencing necessary to enable professors from the three universities to teach students regardless of their location. Using conferencing, lectures are run live, or in conferencing parlance: synchronously.
Through conferencing, students and lecturers get to interact despite being separated by oceans and time zones. The audio-visual conference also includes the respective lecture content: slides and graphics, which are transmitted as the conference takes place.
SMA offers five programmes:
Advanced Materials for Micro- and Nano-Systems (AMM&NS)
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering (CPE)
Computation and Systems Biology (CSB)
Computational Engineering (CE)
Manufacturing Systems and Technology (MST)
