TKK 2006
Engineering Students Win 5 Awards

Temasek Engineering students snatched 1 Merit + 4 Commendation awards at the annual Tan Kah Kee Young Inventors' Awards competition 2006.
Graduating students Joshua ong and Jessica Tran Ngoc Trang took the judges breath away with their ingenious invention, the "Emergency Air Supply", which could help to save lives if a fire breaks out in the home and the entire house is filled with smoke.
The simple device comprises a breathing mask, attached to a breathing tube which is inserted into the toilet bowl (yes, toilet bowl!), enabling the user to obtain fresh air through the sewage pipe. (see diagram below). Well, perhaps it's not exactly your idea of fresh air, but it may save your life, never mind the strange aroma that you might get together with your oxygen!
Four other projects won Commendation Awards.

TKK 2004
Our Two Heroes

Amid more stringent criteria, Temasek Engineering School still slipped in two Commendation Awards at the Tan Kah Kee Young Inventors' Award 2004.
The "Foldable Mine Crawler", designed by Ng Chong Woon, impressed judges as it was an improvement of existing mine crawlers used by SAF Combat Engineers to ignite landmines and clear a mindfield. Working along the same principles, the Chong Woon's Mine Crawler is foldable, and can be stored inside a soldier's Skeleton Battle Order (SBO), making it exceptionally versatile and portable.
The "Modified Breadboard", the brain-child of Ang Tze Hao, is a simple but highly innovative adapation of existing breadboards used by Engineering students studying circuits. The pin holes on a particular horizontal or vertical strip are inked by metal pieces beneath, and coloured according to the circuits they represent. This reduces the chances of students plugging a circuit into a wrong hole.
The students received their awards at a presentation ceremony at the Singapore Science Centre on 3 April 2004.
