MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN!
Dear students, alumni, colleagues, and partners of CDE,
This time of year signals the commencement of the competition season! Three outstanding teams are preparing for international competitions - the NUS Formula SAE team, the LeoNUS CanSat competition team, and the NUS Calibur Robotics team.
Every year, I witness our students' commitment as they wholeheartedly engage in various competition projects. Our students develop high-speed race cars, satellites, and robots, refining their technical expertise while fuelled by their determination to be the best. The competitive atmosphere ignites their passion to learn and apply their skills, enhances their teamwork and communication, and builds resilience.
Regardless of the outcome, I am confident that our students, representing the University and the College in these competitions and other arenas, do so with pride and honour.
Our competition and project teams have had the support and encouragement of kind donors and sponsors who have seen the value that these experiences bring to our students. We thank them for being the strength behind our teams.
In the same spirit of support for our students, the College is establishing the College of Design and Engineering Bursary to give incoming and current students the freedom to explore the many opportunities in CDE by lightening their financial concerns.
Please join me in making a gift online at https://bbis.nus.edu.sg/give/cde/cdeb and let's give all our students a boost so they can aim for the skies!
Professor Teo Kie Leong

The exhibition brings together a multidisciplinary collection of fourteen socially-engaged projects. Ranging from art, design, architecture, education, and urban planning, the projects situate the social across multiple scales and sites. They present a mosaic of outputs that reflect how different fields and disciplines respond to the urgent eco-techno-social concerns of our time. To assemble is […]
Social Design Lab (SoDL) Inaugural Conference – Examining The Social In Architecture
Interrogating what “the social” constitutes in the field of architecture, Designing the Social explores its philosophical, material, spatial and pedagogical limits. For its inaugural conference, the Social Design Lab (SoDL) at the National University of Singapore looks at how the social is activated through design, specifically how the raw material of social life might be […]
DOA Symposium: Building / Community in the Tropics and Beyond
The principle of site specificity has long guided most works of architecture, landscape architecture, and planning. Yet what the “site” means itself remains mutable and contested. Recent design scholarship and practice progressively turn to local, indigenous, and traditional ways of shaping environments as critiques of modernist legacies of uniformity and standardisation. Still, we must remain […]
DOA Guest Lecture Series: Lobbying for Architecture
This talk will cover the work of The Architecture Lobby, an activist organisation that “lobbies” for the value of architecture in the public and in the profession itself. Begun in 2013 in New York City, it has evolved into an organisation trying to transform, on many fronts, the valuation of architectural work. The hope is […]
