validated lifelong learning pathways has never been greater. In response, the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) has developed a comprehensive model of Competency based Stackable Micro credentials (CSM) that supports continuing engineering education through flexible, modular upskilling opportunities. These micro credentials are explicitly aligned to the national SkillsFuture Industry Transformation Maps (ITMs), ensuring relevance to evolving workforce demands in sectors such as Precision Engineering, Electronics, Built Environment, Energy & Power, and Logistics.

This talk highlights how SIT’s competency based micro credentials are designed around measurable, skill competencies, enabling learners—including working professionals—to acquire and demonstrate skills through authentic, practice oriented assessments. Each micro credential comprises well defined competency units that articulate learning outcomes and performance criteria mapped directly to the SkillsFuture Skills Framework, addressing emerging needs such as automation, digital manufacturing, data analytics, and systems thinking.
There will opportunity to ask questions and discuss the approach that SIT are taking.

This SEFI@work is organised by the SEFI Special Interest Group of Continuing Engineering Education and Lifelong Learning.

Speakers:

• Eugene Wong, Singapore Institute of Technology
• Christopher Smith, Glasgow Caledonian University
