UROP projects for AY2025/2026

We welcome all students from the College of Design and Engineering to work on ad-hoc projects under CDE2605 Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP). We have a diverse range of projects that are offered by our faculty members and industry partners. They are grouped into a number of broad themes below.

Students may work on these projects for one or two semesters either as individuals or with a team of other students. CDE2605 can be used to partially fulfil the compulsory internship requirement for students in Engineering majors.

Find out more below about the projects that are offered for Semester 1 AY2025/2026 and/or Semester 2 AY2025/2026. Contact the projects supervisors and copy idp-query@nus.edu.sg if you are interested to sign up.
