Engineering Overseas Trip!

For the benefit of those who haven't realised we have a TP email account:

Dear ENG students (including in-house SIP-MP),

We are organizing our first Europe study trip to Germany and France for the coming term break in June, and would like to extend invitation to all TP Engineering students. The first three days will be hosted by FESTO, a world renowned automation solution company. We will visit some world-class manufacturing factories and technical centers, including Mercedes Benz Museum, Ritter Sport Museum (Chocolate factory) and Hochschule Esslingen University at Stuttgart. We then will continue our journey to Paris, capital of France, spending the next few days in Disneyland Europe and Paris.

Germany is well known for its excellence in Engineering. In this trip, you will witness how German engineers and students put their passions and dreams into reality. We will take a good stroll into the medieval town of Stuttgart, which was built as far back as the 1st century AD.

Paris, the City of Lights, it is probably the most romantic place on earth. Some landmarks like Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Champs Elysees are not to be missed. Most importantly, Paris is the birthplace for big brand like Chanel and Louis Vuitton, and not forgetting Mona Lisa too!

The trip is planned (tentative, depending on available flights) from 8 Jun, 09 (leaving Singapore) to 16 Jun, 09 (arriving Singapore).
The trip cost is estimated to be around S$2,988 (Air-fare, airport tax, all accommodation in hotels, city tour in Paris, some food and transportation.).

The following pertinent points are to be noted:

1) Need registration with me, Mr. Foo Ming Fenn (mingnfenn@tp.edu.sg) or Mdm. Christina Ng (leesiam@tp.edu.sg).

2) An initial deposit of S$1000.00 is to be paid upon confirmation of registration. Cancellation charges apply.

3) Any special request on food, like vegetarian or halal, needed to be pre-arranged.

4) The trip is scheduled during June two-week term break. It is summer in Europe, good and warm weather!

5) Visa might be needed for International Students.

6) Please check if you have PSEA (formerly Edusave) money that you can use. Parents or account holders can call the PSEA Phone Enquiry System at Tel. 6260 0777 to check the latest balance by following the instructions given over the phone. Please check this early so that you can apply for re-imbursement at the point of registration. PSEA reimbursement will come after the trip so you have to make full payment first if you are confirmed going.

Please register early by submitting your name and contact number by email to any of the two lecturers above. Upon registering, a formal application form will be given to you. Closing date of for formal registration is 8 May 2009.

Good news for the current in-house SIP-MP students, your internship term break coincides with this study trip. So, you are welcome to join us too.
Any other query, please direct to me. Thank you.
