CDE Summer School is a 3 days 2 night camp designed to stir curiosity and inculcate a life-long fascination for engineering and design into the students through inspiring lectures by university professors, creative workshops, and engaging demonstrations at state-of-the-art laboratories at NUS for an experiential learning in a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment.
Through the Summer School programme, participants will have a unique opportunity to experience what it's like to be a CDE student at NUS and network with other like-minded individuals and build lasting connections with peers and instructors.
CDE Summer School 2024: Igniting Passion for Design and Engineering!
At CDE, we are passionate about making a difference. This includes helping young talents channel their energies to explore ways they too can make a difference!
The CDE Summer School was established as a platform to do just that. The summer camp took place from 5-7 June 2024 and brought together over 110 pre-university students from 28 different institutions. Their learning experiences included:
1. mBot Robotics Workshop 2. Workshop on Materials Selection and Cooling Solutions 3. Workshop on Reaction to Reactors 4. Workshop in Visual Communication 5. Net Zero SDE4 Learning Journey
Students were then challenged to design and build robots capable of overcoming various road obstacles while carrying a temperature-sensitive payload. Through this, they were encouraged to explore the intersections of design and engineering, while expanding on the knowledge gained through the workshops and learning journey. Over an exciting three days, they also experienced what it meant to be a student in CDE and be part of a vibrant creative and innovative community.
One participant shared “I learnt more about what CDE has to offer and what the programmes are about, including what they specialise in”. Another student shared that their greatest takeaways from the summer camp included, “Learnings associated with different aspects of engineering and design, insight into life as an NUS student”.

CDE Summer School 2023: Igniting Passion for Design and Engineering!
In CDE, we are passionate about making a difference. We are also passionate about helping young talents channel their energies to explore ways they too can make a difference!
The CDE Summer School was established as our platform to do just that. The School took place from 6 – 8 June 2023 and brought together over 100 pre-university students from 23 different institutions. Their learning experiences included:
1. 5G Digital Technology Workshop - Exploring the systems and robotics used in the maintenance of buildings for increased efficiency and sustainability. 2. Workshop in Visual Communication - Understanding fundamentals of Visual Communication and how Visual Branding is applied in companies. They had hands-on experience with Adobe Illustrator Tools to create their own logomarks and logotypes to personalise their projects. 3. Net Zero SDE4 Learning Journey - Being guided through the award-winning SDE4 building by faculty from the NUS Department of the Built Environment to understand how net zero was achieved through application of design and engineering innovations.
Students were challenged to design and build a structure incorporating a portable fan powered by a solar panel to assist in the cooling process. Through this they were encouraged to explore the intersections of design and engineering, and deepen the knowledge gained through the workshops and learning journey. In a short three days they also experienced what it meant to be a student in CDE and be part of a vibrant creative and innovative community.
