As AI continues to reshape industries and careers, how can we stay relevant, make better career choices, and create new opportunities for ourselves?

On 17 October, ISEM alumni and guests came together for an engaging afternoon of insights, conversations and connections at our annual ISEM Alumni Event: Ride the Next Wave – Empowering Yourself Through Choices.

We kicked off with a keynote by Mr Norman Lee, Founder & Managing Director of Actsys Process Management Consultants, who shared his 40 or so years journey from engineer to corporate leader and entrepreneur. His story offered valuable perspectives on staying adaptable, reinventing ourselves and continuing to create opportunities at every stage of our careers.

The keynote was followed by a panel discussion featuring distinguished guests from corporate leadership, engineering, technology, government, academia and research. The panel explored career choices, AI, leadership, lifelong learning and the human skills that will continue to matter in an evolving world.

The event was also a meaningful opportunity to recognise and celebrate the contributions of our previous ISEM Alumni EXCO term. We presented them with certificates and gifts in appreciation of their time, dedication and efforts in supporting and strengthening ISEM's alumni community.

Beyond the discussions, the afternoon was a chance for our alumni to reconnect, exchange ideas across industries, and discover new possibilities together.

Thank you to all our speakers, panellists, alumni, guests, and the ISEM Alumni EXCO for making the event a successful one. Let's continue to learn, adapt and ride the next wave together!

DAO-ISEM-IORA Seminar Series presents ✨

AI and data-driven technologies are transforming engineering systems, making them increasingly intelligent, adaptive, and continuously learning. In manufacturing, this transformation is shifting the focus from efficiency-driven production toward value creation across the product lifecycle. The concept of Valufacturing illustrates this shift and highlights the growing importance of data-driven learning across design, production, and service. As engineering systems evolve, the role of engineers must also change. Engineers will need to go beyond modeling and analysis to frame the right problems, design systems, validate AI outputs, make responsible decisions, and continuously govern AI-enabled systems. This talk discusses these changes and their implications for engineering education. It also introduces an industry-driven global capstone program at POSTECH as one educational experiment for developing the capabilities needed by future engineers.

Date: 7 October 2026
Time: 3.30p.m.-4.30p.m.
Location: E1-07-21/22 - ISEM Executive Classroom

All are welcome. See you there!

DAO-ISEM-IORA Seminar Series presents ✨

Organizations generate extensive event data, but these records rarely show how work actually unfolds. Process mining connects data with operational processes, enabling organizations to discover process flows, identify deviations and bottlenecks, and monitor performance. This talk introduces the core concepts of process mining and discusses recent advances in object-centric process mining, predictive process monitoring, and process simulation. Applications in manufacturing illustrate its practical value, including bottleneck analysis and process load prediction in POSCO’s steel production, as well as fabrication process analysis with Samsung Electronics. The talk concludes by considering how process mining, together with AI and simulation, can support better decisions in complex engineering systems.

Date: 7 October 2026
Time: 4.40p.m.-5.30p.m.
Location: E1-07-21/22 - ISEM Executive Classroom

All are welcome. See you there!

✨Alumni Spotlight!✨

Singapore felt like the natural place to study maritime affairs, given its position as a leading global maritime hub. When Xiaorui was exploring graduate programmes, the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management’s Master of Science in Maritime Technology & Management (MTM) programme stood out for its focus on bringing technology and data into the maritime industry. Xiaorui’s previous academic background had limited exposure to data analytics. She recognised that developing strong technical skills was essential for succeeding in today’s industry, making the MTM programme an ideal choice for building a solid foundation in this area.

It turned out that the MTM programme gave Xiaorui much more than the foundation she was looking for. The programme’s professors brought not only academic expertise but also deep industry experience, which made the classroom feel closely connected to the real maritime world. Through opportunities such as her internship at PSA, Xiaorui was able to take her learning beyond the classroom and see how it applied to real-world operational and digitalisation challenges. More importantly, the experience taught her to see maritime as an interconnected ecosystem. Xiaorui came into the programme wanting to understand the industry and left feeling that she was truly part of it.

After decades of leadership in the aviation industry, many would consider a successful executive career to be the culmination of a life's work. For Dr. Faisal, however, leadership was never the destination - it was the beginning of asking deeper questions.

Rather than pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy for another academic credential, he returned to NUS at the age of 53 with a clear purpose: to acquire knowledge that could help organisations, industries and society better navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world. As a part-time candidate, Dr. Faisal completed his doctorate in just four years while balancing the demands of leadership at work and life as a grandfather at home.

Supply chains have always been a critical part of how businesses operate, but global disruptions in recent years reinforced Amilia's perspective on how interconnected and strategically important they are. Amilia wanted to develop a broader perspective of supply chain management and strengthen her knowledge beyond her area of specialisation. Ultimately, she decided to pursue the MSc Supply Chain Management programme at the National University of Singapore as a full-time student. It was a significant decision to step away from a stable career and enter a challenging job market upon graduation, but Amilia viewed it as a calculated investment in herself and her long-term growth.
