 NSTB Post-Doctoral Fellowship Programme
The Faculty of Engineering was formally established at the then University of Singapore
in 1969. Prior to that, professional engineering education in Singapore began in 1956
in the Singapore campus of the University of Malaya.
Today, the Faculty has established high standards in teaching and
research with many of its graduates now holding leadership and management
positions. The Faculty contributes to Singapore's economy with a pool of engineers
whose contributions in technology innovation have enabled Singapore to reach the
status of an industrialized economy. While the primary task of the Faculty is to
produce high-caliber manpower to meet the rapidly changing needs of our society,
it also strives to achieve international eminence in focused areas of research
and to realize the economic potential of its R&D capabilities.
The Faculty adopts an innovation-oriented philosophy of education.
Its undergraduate curriculum strikes a balance between engineering
fundamentals and applications, preparing graduates for both research
and professional careers in the various engineering disciplines. The engineering
curriculum was revamped in 1994/95 to implement a modular system of student
assessment providing flexibility to students to study at their own pace.
