National University of Singapore
Information
NUS Engineering’s mission is to nurture Engineer-Leaders with a
global perspective and to lead in technology through high-impact
research. Celebrating its 60th Anniversary in 2015, the Faculty has
contributed substantially to the rapid industrial and economic
growth of the nation while continuing to contribute to a
knowledge-based economy. Professional engineering education started
in 1955, with classes held at the Singapore campus of the
University of Malaya. Two years later, a four-year diploma course
was set up at the Singapore Polytechnic when the Department of
Engineering moved to Kuala Lumpur. It became a four-year Bachelor
of Engineering course in 1964. NUS Engineering was established in
the National University of Singapore (NUS) with the merger in 1980
between the University of Singapore and Nanyang University. The
largest of fourteen faculties and schools at NUS, the Faculty has
grown from 300 students in the late 1970s to close to 10,000 strong
today. Today, we are a vibrant community with ten departments and
programmes: Department of Biomedical Engineering Department of
Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department of Civil &
Environmental Engineering Department of Electrical & Computer
Engineering Department of Industrial Systems Engineering &
Management Department of Mechanical Engineering Department of
Materials Science & Engineering Engineering Science Programme In
tandem with ongoing enhancements to the existing curriculum, NUS
Engineering has also introduced a new learning pathway with design
as its central focus. Known as Innovation & Design-Centric
Programme (iDCP), it was offered from Academic Year 2009/10. Also
introduced was the Global Engineering Programme (GEP), which caters
to top students of each cohort, providing them with the opportunity
to accelerate their programme and receive a Bachelor of Engineering
degree from NUS, and a graduate engineering degree from a partner
university, all within four year. With an increasing international
student and staff population, the Faculty has developed into a
truly cosmopolitan environment for tertiary education, emphasising
both fundamentals and applications.
