Today many civil engineers design not structures but software systems to manage construction. They
practise in the global market place being involved in the planning, designing and construction of
infrastructure, balancing development with care for the environment. New fields and areas of civil
engineering practice and research have emerged, involving the planning, design, construction and
‘management of our man-made living habitat which is constantly evolving. New challenges facing civil
engineering, such as our changing population profile, rising energy costs and climate change have arisen.
To this end, the Department structures our curriculum to facilitate our students in embarking on career
pathways in the increasingly integrated, interdisciplinary nature of the modern civil engineering
profession. Whatever their aspirations, our graduates emerge ready for a broad spectrum of career
opportunities from developing into leading specialists in their fields to being imbued with
multidisciplinary strengths, geared to play leading roles in global infrastructure projects. The curriculum
which places emphasis on developing engineering skills with scientific depths and cross disciplinary
breadths has the following objectives:
+ To ensure that our graduates are equipped with the basic civil engineering core competencies to meet
the requirements for the practice of civil engineering in Singapore in accordance to the Professional
Engineers Board.
+ To ensure that our graduates are able to apply fundamental knowledge of mathematics, science and
engineering using modern engineering techniques, skills and tools.
+ To ensure that students are exposed to social sciences and humanities so as to appreciate the
interdependency between society and infrastructural systems by encouraging multidisciplinary and multi-
cultural interaction and work, as well as cross-cultural exchanges and activities
+ To develop and enhance the interpersonal, communication, and leadership skills of students through
group design projects and oral presentations.
+ To provide opportunities for students to tailor their degree programme to suit the desired engineering
and scientific depths and cross disciplinary breadth.
+ To inspire graduates to have the curiosity, ability and desire for lifelong learning.
+ To prepare graduates for their future careers through instruction on professionalism and ethical
responsibilities, interactions with practitioners and opportunities for internships.

Page 13.2.5.1 Overview
The BEng (Electrical Engineering) is offered by the Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE)
Department. Electrical Engineering (EE) deals with the innovative and creative applications of electrical
sciences, mathematics and other associated disciplines. ECE technologies drive much of today’s
development. Nanotechnology and biomedical engineering, interactive and digital media, and distributed
‘computing will see the next wave of major developments. The BEng (Electrical Engineering) curriculum
is specially designed to provide its graduates with a head start in these rapidly advancing fields. It
provides the requisite balance of breadth and depth for a professional electrical engineering education. It
also seeks to establish a solid foundation for lifelong learning throughout an electrical engineer’s career.
The structure of the Electrical Engineering programme is designed to prepare engineers who will be:
* technically competent to solve complex problems in electrical engineering and can adapt effectively in
a fast changing environment
+ able to critically think, analyse and make decisions that give due consideration to global issues in
business, ethics, society and the environment.
+ able to communicate effectively, act with integrity, and have the inter-personal skills needed to engage
in, lead, and nurture diverse teams
+ committed to lifelong learning, resourceful, resilient and embrace global challenges and opportunities
to make a positive impact in society
The success of the Electrical Engineering programme is assessed through the attainment of learning
outcomes. On graduation from the programme, students are expected to be able to:
* apply the knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering
specialisation to the solution of complex engineering problems;
+ Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching
substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering
sciences.
* 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.
* Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods
including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to
provide valid conclusion.
* Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools
including prediction and modelling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the
limitations.
* 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,
+ Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental
contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for the sustainable development.
* Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the
engineering practice.
+ Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in
multidisciplinary settings.
+ Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with
society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design
Page 1documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
+ 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.
+ 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.
+ Graduates of the Electrical Engineering Programme must have the knowledge to analyse and design
complex electrical and electronic devices, software, and systems containing hardware and software
‘components. The graduates must have a good understanding of the principles and applications of the
basic sciences, engineering science and advanced mathematics, including probability and statistics,
differential and integral calculus, linear algebra and complex variables.
‘The EE programme comprises of four components - a strong core in basic sciences, computing and
engineering; technical competence through a minimum of breadth and depth modules; general education;
and an enhancement programme. The core provides knowledge and skills considered essential for
electrical engineers. In addition to core subjects, these also include group projects, a product design and
innovations project, and capstone project. A minimum number of breadth modules ensures that each
student is exposed to most aspects of the state-of.the-art EE areas. In addition, students can achieve
dopth in one or two areas of their choice. General education modules complement the technical education
through a wide array of modules in humanities, social sciences, philosophy and professionalism to make
our graduates educated members of the global community.
Students are offered a creative learning environment through special enhancement programmes which
include activities like independent study modules, research internships, technopreneurship and student
exchange programmes. They help students to achieve skills for lifelong learning and prepare them for the
work place of the future.
Accreditation of engineering academic programmes is a key foundation for the practice of engineering at
the professional level. The BEng (Electrical Engineering) programme underwent a re-accreditation
exercise in 2013 and is currently accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) of Singapore
for students graduating from the programme up to AY2017/18. Via the accreditation from the EAB, all
signatories in the Washington Accord recognise the substantial equivalence of our programmes in
satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional level. This means
that our graduates can be accepted for engineering practice in the countries that are part of the
Washington Accord. Signatories in the Washington Accord include Canada, USA, UK, Hong Kong, New
Zealand, Australia and others.
Page 23.2.5.2 Degree Requirements
Students in the BEng (Electrical Engineering) programme are required to complete a minimum of 160
MCs with a CAP > 2.0 to graduate. In the first stage of the programme, students will receive broad-
based training which, in addition to establishing a strong foundation in mathematics and computing, will
also be immediately exposed to the use of electrical components and equipment in solving fundamental,
engineering problems in EE. They will also be introduced to the different areas in EE which are driving
the technological developments of today.
In the second stage, students will enrol in core modules that focus on fundamental knowledge in EE.
These core modules provide the essential foundation for a variety of specialised technical areas in EE,
During their senior years of study, students may specialise in certain fields of EE through their selection
of 28 MCs of elective modules. Throughout their programme, they are also expected to broaden their
views by reading some general education modules, Engineering Professionalism and Critical Thinking
and Writing Students are strongly encouraged to make good use of the 32 MCs of UEM by taking more
technical electives to further explore their engineering interest through EE specialisations, or other
interest by taking a minor or second major. The complete programme structure is specified in Table

Page 2EE students are strongly encouraged to take more technical electives to further explore their
engineering interest through EE specialisations, or other interest by taking a minor or second major.
* BEng students are required to read a Critical Thinking & Writing module (ES1531 Critical Thinking &
Writing. Alternatively, students can read FS1501X Academic Expository Writing in place of both ES1531
USP/UTRP/RVRC students should refer to their respective programmes for USP/UTRP/RVRC modules to
be read in place of ES1531. For students who does not meet the pre-requisite of ES1531, they need to
take ES1103 before ES1531.
* For BEng students in the following special programmes: DDPs, CDPs, GEP & CSP, internship /
industrial-attachment is optional and the modular credits for the internship/industrial-attachment will be
become ‘Free Electives’ i.e., Unrestricted Electives (UE).
During their senior years of study, students may specialize in certain fields of EE through their selection
of 12 MCs of outer core elective modules in Table 3.2.5b and 16 MCs of technical electives from number
of areas in Table 3.2.5c as follows: Communications & Networks, Integrated Circuits & Embedded
Systems, Control, Intelligent Systems & Robotics, Signal Analysis & Machine Intelligence,
Microelectronics Technologies & Devices, Microwave and RF, Power and Energy Systems, Bioelectronic
Systems and Information Processing. An outer core elective module enables students to achieve a broad
understanding of concepts in the particular area. A technical elective is a higher-level module that
provides greater depth and coverage in the particular area.
The outer core modules are organised in eight areas in Table 3.2.5b. Students need to read three
‘modules from a minimum of three areas of outer core modules to achieve exposure to various facets of
EE, To achieve depth, students need to read a minimum of four technical electives. All three outer core
‘must add up to at least 12 MCs and technical electives must add up to at least 16 MCs, out of which 8
MCs must be used to fulfil PPP and RFP Pathway requirements. The students opting for iDCP pathway
‘must choose their unrestricted and technical electives as prescribed by the pathway requirements. EE
students should read at least 12 MCs of technical elective modules offered by the EE Department (ie.,
those with EExxxx module codes). Students may also take additional BE technical elective modules to
satisfy the Unrestricted Elective Modules (UEM) and also further their interest in certain areas of
engineering based on the recommended tracks. The list of tracks is given in Table 3.2.54.
