\n\t\tSecond Major in Innovation & Design: Cohort AY2022\/2023\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

The Second Major in Innovation & Design<\/strong> consists of a series of project-based courses that run throughout a student’s candidature. Students are expected to develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities in innovation and design in a cumulative manner through these courses.<\/p>\n

The learning journey begins with lower-level courses that introduce students to basic concepts in innovation and design, and culminates in a major design project and a final year project where students are expected to apply their design knowledge and skills to develop solutions to real problems. Students will also take a number of Innovation & Enterprise electives to widen their knowledge about topics in design, business, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The requirements of the Second Major in Innovation & Design<\/strong>\u00a0are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Courses<\/th>\nRemarks<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Group A – complete\u00a0ONE<\/strong>\u00a0of the following:\n
    \n
  • \n
      \n
    • EG2201A User-Centred Collaborative Design (4 units) or CDE2300 Product Design and Innovation (4 units)<\/li>\n
    • CDE2310\/EG2310 Fundamentals of Systems Design (4 units)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
Default is EG2201A. Students who are required to take the introductory course DTK1234 Design Thinking should pass the course before embarking on EG2201A. EG2201A is re-coded as CDE2300 Product Design and Innovation from AY2024\/2025 onwards.\n

CDE2310 is targeted at students who intend to work on projects in complex engineering systems.<\/p>\nThese courses can be double-counted toward the cross-disciplinary course requirement for students from School of Computing. For students from other Faculties\/Schools, these courses are counted as unrestricted electives.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Group B – complete\u00a0ONE<\/strong>\u00a0of the following:\n
    \n
  • \n
      \n
    • CDE2301\/EG2301 Value Creation in Innovation (4 units)<\/li>\n
    • CDE2311\/EG2311 Introduction to Space Systems (4 units)<\/li>\n
    • CDE2605R Undergraduate Research Experience (4 units)<\/li>\n
    • CDE2606B\/EG2606B Independent Work (4 units)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
Default is CDE2301.\n

CDE2311 is targeted at students who intend to work on satellite-related projects.<\/p>\n

CDE2605R\/CDE2606B can be counted as Group B course for students from College of Design and Engineering who are special competition projects only (e.g. FSAE, Bumblebee, RoboMaster).<\/p>\nCounted as unrestricted elective except CDE2605R which can be used to partially fulfil the internship requirement for Engineering majors.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Group C – complete\u00a08 units <\/strong>from the basket of\u00a0Innovation & Enterprise electives<\/a>.<\/td>\nGenerally counted as unrestricted electives.\nSome courses may be double-counted between the Second Major and a student’s primary major.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0CDE3301\/EG3301R Ideas to Proof-of-Concept (12 units)<\/td>\nCourse is formerly known as DCP Project.\n

Generally counted as unrestricted elective.<\/p>\n

This course replaces the design project course in Biomedical Engineering and Engineering Science.<\/p>\nCDE3301\/EG3301R cannot<\/strong> be read concurrently with credit-bearing internship.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

CDE4301 Innovation & Design Capstone (12 units) or<\/u> CDE4301A\/EG4301A Ideas to Start-up (12 units)<\/td>\nCDE4301 was formerly coded as EG4301 DCP Dissertation.\n

Replaces Integrated Project course in the common curriculum for Engineering majors.<\/p>\n

May replace honours thesis course in some non-Engineering majors (or vice-versa).<\/p>\n

CDE4301\/CDE4301A cannot<\/strong> be read concurrently with credit-bearing internship.<\/p>\nCDE4301\/CDE4301A cannot<\/strong> be used to fulfil a specialisation in any Engineering major.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Students who missed the Group A and Group B courses Semester 2 and Semester 3 respectively may clear these courses in a later semester.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students from Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Infrastructure & Project Management, and Materials Science & Engineering who are planning to take the Group A course EG2201A<\/strong>\u00a0may do so in\u00a0Year 1 Semester 2<\/strong>\u00a0after clearing DTK1234 in the preceding semester.\u00a0Students from College of Humanities and Sciences as well as School of Computing who have read DTK1234 in Year 1 Semester 1 may also read EG2201A in Year 1 Semester 2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students from Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Science, Industrial\u00a0 & Systems Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering who are planning to take the Group A course EG2201A<\/strong>\u00a0may do so in\u00a0Year 2 Semester 1<\/strong>\u00a0after clearing DTK1234 in the preceding semester.\u00a0Students from College of Humanities and Sciences as well as School of Computing who take DTK1234 in Year 1 Semester 2 will also read EG2201A in Year 2 Semester 1.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students who are planning to take the Group A course EG2310<\/strong>\u00a0should do so in\u00a0Year 1 Semester 2<\/strong> as the course is offered in Semester 2 only of each academic year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students who are in the\u00a0Engineering Scholars Programme<\/strong> and poly-intake students<\/strong> in Engineering majors who are exempted from up to one year’s worth of courses (38 units) may follow a three-year timeline.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students who participate in the\u00a0NUS Overseas Colleges <\/strong>(NOC) programmes may map some of their NOC courses to the Second Major. Students may also enrol in a specialisation<\/strong>\u00a0or a\u00a0minor<\/strong> on top of their primary major and the Second Major in Innovation & Design. However, those who do so may need to graduate with additional courses above and beyond the minimum 160 units needed for graduation.<\/p>\n
