Dear students and colleagues
International Women in Engineering Day is celebrated on June 23.
The day honours women in engineering, celebrating their achievements and highlighting the career opportunities available across the diverse engineering fields.
We at CDE are proud to support the development of women in the diverse fields represented in our College. We are an affiliate of the Society of Women Engineers Singapore (SWE@SG); a platform for future employers to connect with future engineers. The College, together with other partner institutions, also drives the "Asian Deans Forum - The Rising Stars Women in Engineering" initiative, which brings together young women professionals in engineering for scientific and career-oriented discussions relevant to developing women academic leaders in Asia.
Upcoming on 28 July, CDE will host, “EmpowHER: Advancing Women in Tech and Design Leadership”, part of CDE’s CoDE Women initiative, to celebrate the achievements of our female alums. Do join us for this annual event organised by our Alumni Relations Office to hear from our inspiring female alums.

Between Line & Form Exhibition
Between Line & Form is an exhibition of hand-drawn architectural sketches by Ar. Rene Tan, presented in conjunction with the RT+Q Drawing Prize at NUS. Spanning over 40 years, the showcase features lead-on-paper sketches, mechanical pencil on vellum, ink and Pantone on Mylar, pen parti diagrams, ballpoint design esquisses, and sketchbooks on loan from the National Archives of Singapore. These drawings trace a personal journey through observation, discovery, improvisation, and speculation. From “Covid Drawings” exploring interior space to “Otto Wagner Drawings” on proportion and detail, “Pantone Drawings” on light and shadow, “Travel Sketches” on place and memory, and “Sketchbook Etudes” tracking design ideas, each work embodies what Michael Graves called “tangible speculations.” Between Line & Form invites visitors to reflect on the enduring value of hand sketching in an increasingly digital design culture, and to appreciate the liberating journey between each line and the next.
