The Division of Power Engineering is one of the oldest divisions in NTU. Over the years, it has been constantly transforming itself as technologies change; always staying relevant to the industrial needs of Singapore and to the global educational trends. Its current focus is on sustainable energy use of electrical power, to be a leading group in the world in providing excellent research and education in this area.

The Division provides foundation courses to prepare undergraduates in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and in Aerospace Engineering. These lower year undergraduate courses cover topics ranging from AC Circuits, Electrical Machines, Power Systems and Power Conversion, to Aircraft Electrical Devices. The core education thrust of the Division is its Power and Clean Energy Specialization, a package of final year courses aimed at producing EEE graduates in the electric power and renewable energy sectors. It consists of two design electives and four technical electives. At postgraduate level, the Division has been offering the M.Sc in Power Engineering program, with a yearly intake of about 60 students. The Division is currently also partnering with Wuhan University to offer a joint double-degree program in Power Engineering, allowing students from China an opportunity to obtain a B.Eng and an M.Sc in only five years.

In terms of research, the Division has been adapting itself to accommodate the emerging sustainable energy technologies while continuing to maintain its core strengths in power systems and power electronics. This has paid off well as it has secured in recent years almost $15 million of external research grants for projects in efficient solar energy based systems for water production, intelligent energy distribution systems and marine energy harvesting. Its research laboratories and its virtual Centre for Smart Energy Systems have also begun evolving into a physical centre of multi-disciplinary facilities and activities which shall be a focal point in sustainable energy research. The Division has a yearly intake of about 15 PhD candidates to work on leading edge research projects.
