Ever since he studied Marine Engineering in his polytechnic years, Swee Guan has a keen interest in the Marine Industry. This has led him to complete two internships, one as an assistant Safety Officer in Keppel Shipyard and another as a cadet engineer on a ship. His interest to put theory into practice leads him to continue his apprenticeship as an engineer cadet on a container vessel after graduation. Being adaptable and friendly in nature, he was able to communicate and work well with the officers and crew hailing from different countries. The hardships faced on sea have helped shaped him to be a more appreciative person and taught him not to take things for granted.
To improve his knowledge, Swee Guan studied Mechanical Engineering in the National University of Singapore. Through the course of study, Swee Guan discovered his interest in failure analysis in materials, which is a process of collecting and analysing data to determine the cause of failure in a component as well as its preventions. This has encouraged him to study materials related technical electives to broaden his knowledge.
Besides studying, Swee Guan also found time to pursue his interests in endurance sports. His interests in swimming and running enabled him to complete a marathon and several biathlons. His passion in swimming leads him to take up lifesaving and CPR courses in NUS so that he can render his help to anyone in need.
Lastly, Swee Guan is a firm believer in perseverance over adversity. No mountains are too high and no roads are too long if one sets his mind to complete it. It is with this mantra that strengthens Swee Guan to overcome the obstacles he faced in his pursuit of his goals.
