School of Civil and Environmental Engineering

 

 

Overview

 

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) is one of the six engineering schools in the College of Engineering . CEE offers degrees in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Maritime Studies.

 

Vision

Our vision is to be a recognised leader and the school of choice in the region for planning, design, construction, and management of urban development and civil, infrastructure and maritime systems.

 

Mission

CEE  provides high-quality undergraduate and graduate education, conduct leading-edge basic and applied research, and support and enhance the profession of civil and environmental engineering through its education, research and service activities in Singapore and the region.

 

The CEE mission balances education and research with parity between the undergraduate programme and the graduate programme. Our students are provided with a comprehensive and broad-based education that emphasises critical thinking and communication skills, and prepares them for successful engineering practice, advanced studies, professional responsibility and life-long learning. The research conducted will contribute to both the civil and environmental engineering profession and the society, in terms of fundamental and applied knowledge and technologies that could help with the advancement of the profession and improve the quality of life.

(2) Division of Infrastructure Systems and Maritime Studies

Overview
The Division of Infrastructure Systems and Maritime Studies was formed on 1 November 2005 in acknowledgement of the integrated system approach to civil engineering. The Division consists of faculty members specialising in Project Finance and Management, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Spatial Information and Maritime. These areas encompass the development of key infrastructure systems in a global city: land development and improvement, transport system, logistics system, port and airport. The research focus of the Division is grouped into five main areas:

Project Management and Finance
Risks and Project Financing
Information Technology
Productivity

Geotechnical Engineering
Foundation for High-rise Buildings
Land Reclamation
Tropical Soils
Underground Space

Transportation Engineering
Transport Modelling and Planning
Traffic Management and Control
Application of Advanced Technologies in Transportation Engineering
Pavement Materials and Technology

Spatial Information
Digital Spatial Data Acquisition and Analysis

Maritime
Maritime Economics and Management

Maritime Logistics

Port Economics and Management

Research activities are coordinated through two research centres: Centre for Infrastructure Systems and Maritime Research Centre (MRC). Key facilities of the division include Geotechnics Laboratory, Transportation Laboratory and Spatial Information Laboratory.
