Courses
As with the other BEng majors, the curriculum structure of RMI consists of 160 units (equivalent to 40 courses), with 40 units of common curriculum, 80 units related to the RMI major, and 40 units of unrestricted electives.
The BEng RMI programme is uniquely supported by an interdisciplinary collaboration involving the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering. These departments contribute their relevant expertise to the courses within this major.

Course Registration
You must register for your courses before the start of each semester through the Course Registration System (CourseReg@EduRec). The typical workload for each semester is 20 Units (usually the equivalent of 5 courses).
Below is the minimum and maximum workload applicable to CDE undergraduate students:
Minimum Workload
- 18 Units for full-time students. For more information, click HERE
Maximum Workload
- 23 Units in CourseReg Round 1 and 2
- 23 Units in Round 3, for Year 1 students in first semester
- 27 Units in Round 3, for Year 1 students in first semester under special programmes (Double Degree Programmes, University Scholars Programme, NUS College, Engineering Scholars Programme etc)
If your requested workload is beyond the minimum and maximum workload, please submit an appeal through the Course Registration System (CourseReg@EduRec).
Do refer to the recommended schedule of your programme and ensure you keep to the course registration timeline.
