As Singapore rolls out major public infrastructure projects and a national $115 million programme (Cities of Tomorrow R&amp;D Programme) to optimise land use and advance nature-based solutions, civil and environmental engineers are at the forefront of this transformation. From deploying cutting-edge digital twins and automating construction to pioneering circular waste management, boosting climate resilience, and introducing smart, sustainable materials, your work will directly shape the future of the built environment.<\/p>\n<p>Our flexible undergraduate curriculum is designed precisely for this evolving landscape. It allows you to custom-build a unique set of skills tailored to your passions while mastering the core foundations of your discipline. Complex global problems require integrated thinking. One of our department&#8217;s greatest strengths is bringing together highly skilled faculty and researchers across civil, environmental, and sustainability engineering-all collaborating under one roof.<\/p>\n<p>As we kick off the new semester, here is a snapshot of the department activities you can look forward to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fireside Chats:<\/strong> Connect directly with accomplished alumni and fellow students.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distinguished Lectures &amp; Exhibitions:<\/strong> Attend eminent Chair Professorship lectures and engage with industry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alumni Events: <\/strong>Networking dinners with alumni cohorts. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Student Club Activities:<\/strong> Participate in vibrant campus life, overseas community projects, field trips and other peer-led events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, I am thrilled to share that our CEE Department has reached new heights in the QS World University Rankings. Civil Engineering is now ranked <strong>2nd globally<\/strong> (just after MIT), and Environmental Science is ranked <strong>7th<\/strong>. These extraordinary achievements reflect the rising global academic standing of our department and the immense capability of our students and alumni.<\/p>\n<p>We are incredibly proud to walk alongside you on your CEE journey. Wishing you a brilliant, inspiring, and successful year ahead!<\/p>\n<p>Warmest regards,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/cee\/about-us\/welcomemessage\/head-message_prof-karina-gin-signoff\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-22121\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/cee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/07\/Head-Message_Prof-Karina-Gin-Signoff.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\nActing Head of Department<br \/>\nDepartment of Civil &amp; Environmental Engineering<br \/>\nCollege of Design and Engineering<br \/>\nNational University of Singapore\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/cee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NUS Department of Civil &amp; Environmental Engineering<\/a> has several ways to provide you with up-to-date information on our upcoming activities and our accomplishments.
