Renaissance Engineering Programme
The latest that has sounded in the first decade of this new
century is global integration with its realities and challenges.
We are engaging a world that is connected
multi-dimensionally - a global system of systems. The world's
business and public sector leaders of today and tomorrow
need to be equipped to cope with a rapid escalation of
systems-level diversity and complexity that confront them, an
unprecedented level of such complexity expected indeed to
accelerate in the coming years within the global environment.
This is Renaissance Engineering. This is holistic engineering
in the wake of self awareness of organised diversity. We are
making a new wave of engineers with the potential to develop
into outstanding Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) or Chief
Technology Officers (CTOs) in a complex world.
The Renaissance Engineering Programme (REP) is an
integrated co-terminal engineering programme which will
admit 50 elite engineering students to NTU in this flagship
programme. The REP awards a dual-degree comprising
Bachelor of Engineering Science degree (with specialization
in a specific engineering discipline) and Master of Science in
Technology Management in 4.5 years.
The REP is an integrated, rigorous and fully residential
programme with a curriculum that covers a broad spectrum of
multi-disciplinary subjects bridging Engineering, Business
and the Liberal Arts which includes Sciences, Mathematics,
Engineering Technology Management, and interdisciplinary
studies. At the end of REP, students would have mastered all
in order that REP graduates will possess the necessary
knowledge, skills and attributes within the broader context of
engineering science.
The REP adopts a new pedagogy which exposes students to
different learning paradigms including supervised,
unsupervised and reinforcement learning during the course of
study. To inculcate a holistic view of real-life issues, an
integrated broad-based approach will be embedded in the
curriculum drawing connections across disciplines.
The REP undergraduate will spend one year at the University
of California Berkeley, USA, our collaborating university
partner for this flagship programme. REP students will be able
to subsribe to the two highly popular courses in offering
unique to UC Berkeley, in addition to an Industrial Orientation
programme in Silicon Valley with Berkeley's assistance. This
one-year experience will enhance students’ learning
experience and equip them with a global outlook in
preparation for work life.
The REP will be a major inter-college collaboration on an
education programme of national prominence. We are onto
making creative, dextrous and outstanding Engineering
Leaders of Tomorrow.
