Understanding, design, fabrication and testing of structures and materials at the nanometer scale. Students learn how controlling shape and size at the nanometer scale enables the design of smaller, lighter, faster and better performing materials, components and systems. This specialization combines both a physics and electrical engineering approach.

Provides a multidisciplinary understanding of production and conversion of various forms of energy. It addresses non-renewable as well as renewable energy sources. Students learn to tackle some of the most pressing problems we face today in terms of energy generation, storage and management. Note, the ECE department have now withdrawn EE3506C, and replaced it with EE2029, please ensure you take EE2029 as a UE, it allows you to take 4th year EE modules in the EST, EE4501, EE4502 and EE4511.

Note – ESP5403 has been recoded to ME4252 starting from AY2022/2023 Semester 1 onwards

Using mathematics and physics to build computational models to solve scientific and engineering problems. Models may be created in computers (virtual models), that enables the design of engineering systems to perform a function. Such virtual models guide the design and creation of engineering products like automobiles, airplanes, energy systems, etc. This specialization also gives the opportunity to discover assorted computational aspects associated with robotics and artificial intelligence.

This new specialisation aims to better align our program to the government RIE2020 plans where healthcare is cited as a major requirement for the future of Singapore. Engineering in Medicine is also one of six major research themes selected by the College of Design and Engineering at NUS that is encouraged and supported for research. The Engineering Science topic is naturally in many of the state-of-the-art instruments in the healthcare industry e.g. x-rays in computerized tomography (CT), gamma rays/radionuclides in nuclear medicine, magnetic fields and radio frequencies in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound in ultrasound imaging and Doppler measurements, focused ion beams for cancer therapy.
