Ngee Ann Polytechnic students (from left) Ko Wan Ting, Hafizhan Sharruddin and Chong Jin Yuan were involved in designing the unmanned, solar-powered boat which was launched on 22 October 2013. This vessel will be used by the Waterways Watch Society (WWS) to chart water quality in the Marina catchment and teach students about keeping SingaporeÍs waters clean.
NO need for alarm if you spot a boat in Kallang Basin missing its pilot. For the first time, an unmanned, solar-powered boat is being used by the Waterways Watch Society (WWS) to chart water quality in the Marina catchment and teach students about keeping Singapore’s waters clean.
Designed by students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s School of Engineering, it is equipped with sensors to measure pH levels as well as the amount of dissolved oxygen. These values help indicate how polluted the waters are.
