SEEE 50 th<br />
Anniversary<br />
Celebrations<br />
Since technology courses were<br />
first offered by the <strong>Singapore</strong><br />
<strong>Polytechnic</strong> in 1957, the School<br />
of Electrical & Electronic Engineering<br />
(SEEE) had provided 50 years of sterling<br />
education and training.<br />
Many of its graduates have moved on<br />
to become successful entrepreneurs,<br />
academic, industrialists and technologists.<br />
These graduates have also witnessed<br />
and played important roles in the<br />
transformation of our nation from being<br />
a Third World country to be amongst the<br />
most admired in the world.<br />
To mark its 50th anniversary, SEEE is<br />
organising a year-long celebration from<br />
September 2007 to September 2008.<br />
In February this year, a Logo and Tagline<br />
Contest was launched to choose an<br />
appropriate logo and tagline to represent<br />
the year-long celebration. Out of 14<br />
logos and 71 taglines submitted by staff,<br />
students and alumni, the winning design<br />
shown on the left was picked by more<br />
than 50% of SEEE staff.<br />
