Diploma in Industrial and Operations Management (R11)
About the Programme
In the current context of rapid technological
advances, globalization and the increased emphasis
on sustainable development, the challenge is to
develop efficient and sustainable engineering
solutions as Singapore continues to build up its
capabilities and niche technologies.
Our Diploma in Industrial and Operations Management
(DIOM) program supports the engineering services,
logistics and manufacturing industries by providing
graduates with specialist knowledge and process
know-how to meet the needs of the industry and
tomorrow’s engineering challenges.
Programme Objectives
The DIOM
program aims to nurture students in becoming
knowledgeable and enterprising young professionals
who can apply their skills to meet the needs of the
industry. By the end of the course, students will be
effective learners who will be adept in the art of
problem solving as they equipped themselves with the
necessary IT skills and process know-how to meet
future challenges.
This program will provide a well rounded education
that comprises of both the technical and general.
Discipline and specialization-specific modules will
equip the students with a solid understanding of
engineering and business process flow, quality
control, reliability engineering, project
management, lean and six sigma process, operations
planning, optimization and inventory management. The
program will also give students a strong grasp of
manufacturing planning and control, facilities
planning and design, quality management, human
factors engineering and simulation. General modules
offer an excellent foundation in innovation,
creativity, and entrepreneurship, as well as train
them in communication and life-long learning skills.
Students in this program will have the opportunity
to acquire hands-on experience in our Quality
Engineering Laboratory and use of software tools in
areas of Computer Aided Design (CAD), simulation,
statistical analysis and logistics management.
Final Year Project (FYP)
and Industry Experience Programme (IEP)
All DIOM students will be required to work on a
Final Year Project (module code G301 and G302)
during their final year of study. They will get an
opportunity to interact with practitioners and work
on industry-related projects with outcomes that can
be applied to the real world. More information on
our engagement with the industry can be found here
(http://www.rp.sg/tdc/scm/industryengagement.html).
DIOM students can look forward to a 4-8 weeks
internship programme during their course at RP. They
will get an opportunity to work in companies in the
electronics, healthcare and engineering services
sector, to name a few. This gives them a valuable
avenue to interact with employees and employers of
the participating company, and acquaint themselves
with possible future roles in the company.
The industrial projects and attachment programme
will prepare students for the working world when
they graduate.
RP-UniSIM
Through-Train Degree Program
DIOM students will get an opportunity to pursue a
through-train degree program in Human Factors and
Systems with UniSIM while in RP, beginning from Year
2. Students who have successfully enrolled in this
programme can complete their degree in as short as
one and a half years after graduating from RP.
Career Prospects
Graduates can look forward to excellent career
prospects in various industries. They will have
ample opportunities to begin their career in
industries ranging from engineering services,
manufacturing and logistics industries. Various job
opportunities as associate engineers in areas of
quality assurance, quality control, reliability,
manufacturing, product testing, logistics,
transportation, planning, purchasing and inventory
management are available.
Further Studies
The School believes in and advocates the pursuit of higher education beyond the polytechnic programme. Our diploma programmes are designed to meet the requirements for advanced standing in local and overseas Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL).
