Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering)
Civil engineers plan, design and create the world around us: underground superhighways that connect us, utilities that power us, iconic skyscrapers that define our skyline, smart infrastructures that conserve resources for sustainable living, and a coastal landscape that protects us from climate change.Â
We have been involved in the development of our nation over the last 60+ years, transforming our built environment and driving digitalisation in our construction industry.Â
Climate change and rising seawater levels are a threat to Singapore and all countries worldwide. It is going to affect your livelihood, home and children unless we do something about it now.
We offer a Second Major in Sustainable Urban Development to provide you with broad exposure to urban sustainability. The Second Major will equip you with the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to address the most pressing issues of urban development and its human impacts in cities, in the context of changing climate and sustainability. You can take this Second Major in addition to your first major in B.Eng. (Civil Engineering).
Digital technologies and large data are increasingly shaping the way our infrastructure and environment are being designed and built. Drones, automation, robotics, AI, computer vision and IoT are technologies that will transform our built environment in many years to come.
We offer a Specialization in Digitalization of Urban Infrastructure to equip you with the skills to integrate these technologies into the field of civil engineering. You can take this Specialization with other Majors or Minors within your Unrestricted Electives.
