1.         BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (EEE)

 

In the new knowledge-based economy, engineering has become increasingly multidisciplinary in nature. To better prepare students for this new environment, a new broad-based curriculum was implemented in AY04/05. The aim is to produce engineers who are flexible across disciplines and able to apply their knowledge and skills to lead multidisciplinary teams to solve increasingly complex problems. It also aims to produce thinking engineers who know how to apply existing technologies in novel ways and to create new technologies for the future.

 

The new EEE curriculum focuses on broad-based training to provide flexibility of career choices and nurture lifelong learning. It strikes a balance between breadth and depth to provide a solid foundation in the physical sciences and broad coverage of non-technical areas on the one hand, and comprehensive training in electrical and electronic engineering on the other.

 

Courses that serve to broaden the curriculum comprise Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Business and Management, and Science, Technology and Society. Together with other essential courses in communication skills, Human Resource Management, and Engineers and Society, non-engineering courses contribute about 23% of the overall curriculum workload. These courses are taken throughout the four-year course of study, and are referred to as General Education Requirement Prescribed Electives (GER-PE).

 

First year

The first year curriculum covers fundamentals in the physical sciences, such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computing and Materials Science, to provide a strong foundation for specialisation in the years to follow. It also includes a communications-related course and one or more GER-PE courses to provide broadening in non-technical areas that are beneficial for professional careers and lifelong learning.

 

Second year

In the second year, further courses on Engineering Mathematics are included to strengthen the foundation for more advanced study in electrical and electronic engineering. Other core fundamental electrical and electronic engineering courses such as Circuit Analysis, Semiconductor Fundamentals, Electronics, Data Structures and Algorithms, Signals and Systems, and AC Circuits and Machines are introduced to provide a broad background for all areas of electrical and electronic engineering. In addition, students undertake two courses of laboratory experiments and a Design and Innovation Project to provide the necessary grounding in the practical skills required of engineers.

 

For Polytechnic Diploma holders who are directly admitted to the programme, courses on Basic Engineering Mathematics and Foundation Physics are provided to ease their transition into the degree programme. They are also required to read Engineering Physics to better prepare them for the other courses in electrical and electronic engineering.

 

Third year

In the third year, basic principles which underpin a broad spectrum of technologies encompassed by the area of electrical and electronic engineering are taught. These include core courses on Engineering Electromagnetics, Integrated Electronics and Microprocessors. In addition, students will select two electives from a list of more specialised courses in preparation for more in-depth specialisation in their final year. The elective courses are Modelling and Control, Communication Principles, Semiconductor Devices and Processing, Digital Signal Processing, Power Systems and Conversion, Computer Communications, and Introduction to Photonics.

 

Final year

In the final year, students are given the flexibility to select their prescribed elective courses under three broad groups, namely Electrical and System Engineering, Electronic Engineering and Infocommunication Engineering. They may select any two design elective courses and at least three technical elective courses from one of the groups and one more technical elective course from any group.

 

However, students who prefer a more in-depth study can select the courses from one of 11 areas of specialisation, namely, Biomedical Electronics, Communications Engineering, Computer Engineering, Intelligent Systems and Control Engineering, Digital Media Processing, Electronics, Integrated Circuits Design, Information Communications Technology, Microelectronics, Photonics, and Power and Clean Energy.

 

In addition to the elective technical courses, all students are required to take compulsory courses such as Human Resource Management, and Engineers and Society.

3.   BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (EEE) - PART-TIME

 

The part-time B.Eng. Programme in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) was launched in 1996 on a self-financed basis to provide a platform for polytechnic graduates to further their studies and obtain degrees on a part-time basis while remaining in their respective jobs. The programme is offered only to applicants who have already obtained a Diploma in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or an equivalent qualification from one of the polytechnics in Singapore, and are in full-time employment in a technical job.

 

Intake has been kept at around 150 every year. An invitation for applications is advertised in several newspapers in December each year, with a briefing for prospective students 3 weeks before the closing date at the end of January. Detailed information on the programme is available at http://www.ntu.edu.sg/eee/academic/part_time/.  All part-time students undergo an orientation programme similar to that conducted for full-time students before they begin their first semester of study.

 

The curriculum of the part-time B.Eng. Programme has been revised from time to time in line with the curriculum of the full-time B.Eng. programme. Part-time students follow the curriculum prepared for full-time direct-entry students (Diploma holders) closely, except that part-time students gain the exemption for the inter-semester project module and industrial attachment in Years 2 and 3, respectively, as well as an exemption for 2AUs of Unrestricted Electives in Years 4 or 5. Part-time students also enjoy the benefit of a broad-based education. Two courses in mathematics and science are included in the first year to better prepare students for subsequent years of study. To balance their workload, they are exempted for the same number of AUs of Unrestricted Electives. Today, part-time students in Years 4 and 5 enjoy as many options as full-time students, as long as the number of students for each course is about 10.

 

Part-time students sit for the same examination as their full-time counterparts and after successful completion of the programme requirements, receive the same B.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering, which is wholly recognized by reputable professional institutions such as The Institution of Engineering and Technology of the United Kingdom (IET), Engineering Accreditation Board, Singapore (EAB), Professional Engineers Board, Singapore (PEB) and The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES). The year 2001 saw the graduation of the first batch of part-time B.Eng. students -- 73 students graduated, withmany receiving good honours. About 10 students of this batch graduated one semester later. This pattern has varied slightly from year to year. Since its inception, the part-time B.Eng. programme has been a testimony to NTU's success in maximizing its output using existing facilities.
