You must register your courses before the start of each semester through the Course Registration System. Maximum allowable workload by Faculty is 25#, beyond which you would need special approval. Please note that NUS has a minimum workload policy.

# You are pre-approved for overload to 27 Units if you are pursuing a double-degree programme (DDP), the University Scholars Programme (USP), the E-Scholars Programme, or on the Innovation and Design Programme

Do refer to the course registration timeline.

Programme Educational Objectives:

  1. Apply a deep working knowledge of technical fundamentals to address society’s needs in materials science and engineering.
  2. Develop innovative technologies and solutions to materials science and engineering problems in the nation and the world.
  3. Communicate effectively and take leadership roles in multidisciplinary teams.
  4. Take a leadership role in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of new products, processes, and systems in enterprise and societal contexts.

Student Learning Outcomes:

  1. Engineering Knowledge: Able to apply the knowledge of science, engineering fundamentals, and materials science and engineering to the solution of complex engineering problems.
  2. Problem Analysis: Able to identify, formulate, research literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of science and engineering.
  3. Design/Development of Solutions: Able to design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  4. Investigation: Able to conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods to provide valid conclusions.
  5. Modern Tool Usage: Able to create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools with an understanding of the limitations.
  6. The Engineer and Society: Able to apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
  7. Environment and Sustainability: Able to understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for the sustainable development.
  8. Ethics: Able to apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
  9. Individual and Team Work: Able to function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
  10. Communication: Able to communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large.
  11. Project Management and Finance: Able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and economic decision-making, and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
  12. Life-long Learning: Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
