MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN!
Dear students, alumni, colleagues, and partners of CDE,
The recent Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings (QS WUR) by Subject 2024 have placed six of our CDE programmes in the global top 10. This is a significant achievement, with Architecture/Built Environment and Chemical Engineering ranking at #5, Civil & Structural Engineering at #4, Electrical & Electronic Engineering at #6, Materials Science at #8, and Mechanical, Aeronautical & Manufacturing Engineering at #7. These rankings highlight our institution's global standing and underscore our commitment to interdisciplinary learning, equipping our students to thrive in the future's diverse challenges and opportunities.
But beyond the hard numbers of ranking stats, the quality of our education and research programmes can be seen in many other ways.
This month, the Bumblebee Team, a multi-disciplinary project programme comprising students across multiple disciplines such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Computer Science, and based in CDE, has once again achieved success this time at the Singapore AUV Challenge 2024. Faculty members from our Division of Industrial Design, Assistant Professor Clement Zheng and Ms Tiffany Loy represented Singapore with other creatives at the Milan Design Week as part of DesignSingapore Council's Future Impact 2, which looks to a new era of design, where technology empowers designers to create a better tomorrow. Lastly, CDE class ambassadors came together to connect and share ideas on how alums can support current students and the larger CDE-NUS community.
Professor Teo Kie Leong
