Department of Civil Engineering

Overview

The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the eight Departments and Divisions in the Faculty of Engineering of the National University of Singapore, which is ranked 10th in the world for technology. Research and Education are driven through three exciting programmes embracing the increasingly integrated, interdisciplinary nature of modern civil engineering:

• Offshore Engineering
• Protective Technology
• Hazards, Risks & Mitigation

To support these programmes the Department has a team of more than thirty highly qualified and professionally experienced academic members. They regularly conduct specialized short courses and provide consultancy and advisory services. Interacting closely with industry, government bodies and statutory boards, they are actively engaged in research and development activities. These R & D programmes are well supported by research grants from the University, Agency for Science, Technology & Research (A*STAR) and other government agencies as well as private sector organizations.

The Department hosts several research centres to support and coordinate R & D works. These are:

• The Centre for Advanced Materials and Structures (CAMS)
• The Centre for Hazards Research
• The Centre for Offshore Research & Engineering (CORE)
• The Centre for Soft Ground Engineering (CSGE)
• The Centre for Transportation Research (CTR)
• The Safety Studies Initiative (SSI)
