Why study Engineering in NUS?
Engineering is Fun!
Engineering is an exciting profession that helps to change and improve our world. Engineers can create visionary and imaginative solutions to the challenges facing the world. Actually, if everything that engineers have given us was taken away, we would end up with a pretty dull and boring life. The recently revamped NUS Engineering programme provides students with lots of exciting opportunities. Besides the flexible and broad-based curriculum which allows students to tailor specific sets of courses and projects that would prepare them for careers in a multitude of exciting areas, students have the opportunity to take part in a host of special enhancement programmes. These programmes aim to provide opportunities for our engineering students to participate and experience the manifold facets of industry and business in the global market place – from R&D, design, manufacturing, and intellectual property generation and protection, to starting a new technology-based business. Also, besides the exciting projects, including building robots, designing structures and etc, that characterize our engineering programs, many of our students regularly win top awards at national & international competitions.
 |
For example, our students won the 1st Prize in the humanoid robot category at the FIRA Robot World Cup 2003 in Austria, 2nd Prize in the humanoid robot soccer tournament category of the 9th Roboworld Cup 2004 in Korea and a research paper written by our undergraduate student won the first prize at the Institution of Electrical & Electronic Engineers (IEEE) IEEE Region 10 Undergraduate Student Paper Contest in 2004. |
Our students not only make their mark at national and international events, but they also apply their engineering knowledge to help others. Once a year, a group of Civil Engineering students go overseas for about a month during their vacations to construct civil engineering works for the people over there. So far the students have been to Hainan Islands, Vietnam, and Burma. |

Flexible and broad-base educational system – the modular system in NUS allows students to progress at their own pace and graduate earlier (e.g. 3 or 3.5 years) with careful academic planning. In addition, students can choose from a wide range of modules offered by different Faculties/Schools. The modular system aims to provide a healthy diversity of learning opportunities so that students can develop to their full potential.

NUS Faculty of Engineering has faculty members who are well respected internationally in their respective areas of research and education. |
|
We have world-class research facilities: NUS-affiliated National Research Centres/Institutes,
University Level Research Centres/Institutes & Faculty of Engineering Research Centres & Laboratories |

NUS offers a number of exciting, high quality and internationally accredited engineering programmes based on highly flexible and modern curriculum structure (see table below).
All our more established engineering programmes have been accredited by various professional accreditation bodies and recognized internationally. Our newer Bioengineering (BIE) and Material Science & Engineering (MSE) programmes have also commenced work to seek accreditation in the Year 2008.
1With the accreditation, FoE undergraduate programs are considered equivalent to the
UK 4-year M.Eng. programs in the UK, and our graduates would meet the academic requirements for attaining Chartered Professional Engineer Status.
2A programme is eligible to be fully accredited only after at least two batches of students are graduated through the programme. When a programme is new and did not graduate any students, it may be considered for provisional accreditation. Since the Engineering Science Programme is in the second year of its degree programme, the EAB evaluation team has recommended a provisional accreditation of 4 years, the maximum allowed.
