Program Educational Objectives

The Civil Engineering “Program Educational Objectives (PEO)” describes the broad attributes that CVE program are expected to produce graduates with:

  • Depth in fundamental knowledge of core civil engineering disciplines
  • Breadth in integrative skills to apply knowledge across disciplines
  • Appreciation of interactions between engineering, business and technology in modern society
  • Drive for life-long learning and continuous self-development
  • Understanding of their role as civil engineers in the sustainable developments of society at the national and global context
  • To ensure that our graduates are equipped with the basic civil engineering core competencies to meet the requirements for the practice of civil engineering in Singapore in accordance to the Professional Engineers Board.

The BEng. (Civil Engineering) programme is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) of Singapore and this accreditation of engineering academic programmes is a key foundation for the practice of engineering at the professional level.
