About NUS College of Design and Engineering

Welcome to the College of Design and Engineering (CDE), a fusion of two world-class schools – the Faculty of Engineering and the School of Design and Environment.

As the problems of world become more complex, society demands innovative, sustainable solutions that integrate technology, design and the environment with diverse human factors.

At the CDE we build on the convergence between the disciplines of engineering, architecture, and design to offer a distinctive interdisciplinary educational experience for our students and foster a cutting-edge multi-disciplinary research environment for our researchers.

By working across different expert domains, CDE students will build and design their learning pathways and gain exposure to real-world scenarios. Our students have wider options to build a broad intellectual foundation while earning marketable skills to enhance their careers. Most importantly we inspire our students, through the CDE experience, to develop a mindset of continuous learning and adaptability; important to thrive in a fast-changing world.

With the joining of world-class research capabilities across Engineering, Architecture and Design, the College will further expand our research focus into frontiers where design, technology and human factors meet and multidisciplinary collaboration is enhanced. At the CDE we unite creative minds to address some of the most challenging problems in technology, sustainability, and the environment to build a better future.

We are excited to be forging new frontiers together.
