Introduction
In 2001, the Community Service Committee (CSC) of the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) mooted the idea of organising a competition for engineering students to design and build devices and systems to help the elderly and the handicapped. Through this success, the IES Design Awards Competition became an annual event.

In 2015, the IES Design Awards Competition was renamed as IES Innovation Challenge for the Community (IES ICC), and was opened to all Institutes of Higher Leaning for all projects that will be of benefits to the community. In 2018, the CSC of IES has agreed to hold the IES Innovation Challenge for the Community in conjunction with the 12th Biomedical Engineering Society (Singapore) Scientific Meeting which will be held at the Centre for Life Sciences (CeLS), National University of Singapore on Saturday 19th May 2018.
