School of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Degree Programmes and Requirements | Description of Courses

 
 

Overview

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) was one of the initial three engineering schools when the University started out as NTI back in 1982. It was then called the School of Civil and Structural Engineering (CSE). In 2002, it was renamed School of Civil and Environmental Engineering due to increasing emphasis on the environment and the significant strength of the school had gained in this area. Thereafter, the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering programme was introduced in 2003. In 2004, in addition to the existing Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering programmes, a new undergraduate programme in Maritime Studies was launched.


Vision

A leading school for sustainable built environment


Mission

To nurture students to be responsible leaders capable of realising their maximum potential in their profession and community. To provide a collegiate environment for faculty to excel in education and research for sustainable development. To advance knowledge for the practice of civil and environmental engineering and maritime professions.

We train and educate professional civil and environmental engineers, and advance the state of knowledge in important civil and environmental engineering fields. The Civil Engineering curriculum equips its students with the professional knowledge and skills needed to excel in a challenging career as a civil engineer, while the Environmental Engineering curriculum imparts knowledge, skills and capabilities in a wide variety of environmental engineering topics to further research and know-how in building and maintaining sustainable living environments. Through the maritime studies programme, we also build up the expertise of the local shipping industry as well as working towards establishing Singapore as a centre of excellence for shipping business, research and development. The Maritime Studies curriculum equips its students with the necessary expertise in shipping, business and management, and maritime science and technology to meet the new challenges in the maritime industry.

State-of-the-art facilities in both hardware and software are incorporated to provide a professionally-oriented education and a highly advanced environment for research, development and collaborations with the industry and overseas universities. We have well-equipped laboratories with highly developed facilities to support teaching and intensive research, namely:

  • Computer-Aided Design & Drafting (CADD) laboratory
  • Environment laboratory
  • Geotechnics laboratory
  • Hydraulics laboratory
  • Protective Engineering and Construction Technology laboratory
  • Transport and Geospatial laboratory

The School is staffed by an international faculty of academics who are strong in teaching as well as research and professional experiences. Besides teaching the undergraduate and graduate courses, they are active in research collaboration with industrial organisations, offering engineering consultancy, conferences, seminars and short courses for the benefit of the industry. To facilitate the coordination of various academic and research activities and also to better reflect their focus areas, the School is organised into three Divisions:

  • Environmental and Water Resources Engineering (EWRE)
  • Infrastructure Systems and Maritime Studies (ISMS)
  • Structures and Mechanics (SM)
The School provides a number of practice-oriented courses to prepare the students for their challenging careers. The courses are designed to provide the requisite breadth and depth so that the students are able to pursue a career in planning, design and construction of civil, environmental, maritime projects and systems, as well as in research and development. Lectures and tutorials complemented by laboratory sessions, design projects, practical training, industrial visits and seminars will equip the students with the principles and practical aspects of their areas of studies. Upon graduation, they are able to be involved in various engineering and maritime activities.
