The BTech (Electronics Engineering) is offered in partnership with the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering.  The programme aims to graduate professional electronics engineers who have a strong foundation in the relevant sciences and technology and who are able to contribute to society through innovation, enterprise and leadership. The programme provides students with an education that enhances and complements their knowledge and experiences, offers the requisite balance of breadth and depth for a professional electrical engineering education, and seeks to establish a solid foundation for lifelong learning throughout an electronics engineer’s career.

The programme comprises of three components – a strong core in mathematics, computing and engineering; technical competence through a minimum of breadth and depth modules; and general education. The core – which includes group projects, a product design and innovations project, and individual research and design projects – provides knowledge and skills considered essential for electronics engineers.  A minimum number of breadth modules ensures that each student is exposed to many aspects of the state-of-the-art areas; in addition, students can achieve depth 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 and professionalism to make our graduates educated members of the global community.

The programme is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) of the Institution of Engineers Singapore (IES).  Via this accreditation, all signatories in the Washington Accord recognise the substantial equivalence of this programme in satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional level in many countries including Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia and others.

The BTech (Industrial & Management Engineering) is offered in partnership with the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management. The programme aims to graduate professional industrial and management engineers who have a strong foundation in the relevant modelling and methodological expertise together with a systems mindset, who can contribute to society through innovation, enterprise and leadership. The programme provides students with an education that enhances and complements their knowledge and experiences.

In order to prepare graduates for the rapidly evolving landscape of Industrial and Management Engineering (IME) and to upgrade polytechnic graduates into learning engineers, the programme is specially designed to comprise essential modules, elective modules (both technical and non technical), enrichment modules, and projects. The essential modules seek to equip students with a strong foundation in mathematics, probability and statistics in engineering fundamentals. The technical electives provide the breadth and depth in different areas of IME.

Design, which is the heart of engineering, is integrated through various project activities. Non-technical modules introduce students to methodologies of business and management. By providing graduates with a combination of broad-based fundamentals and specialised knowledge, the programme strives to graduate versatile engineers who would be best positioned to lead in a rapidly changing and increasingly knowledge-based economy.

The programme is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) of the Institution of Engineers Singapore (IES). Via this accreditation, all signatories in the Washington Accord recognise the substantial equivalence of this programme in satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional level in many countries including Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia and others.

The educational objectives of the BTech (Industrial & Management Engineering) curriculum strive to equip graduates with the abilities to:

• Apply fundamental knowledge and skill sets required in the Industrial and Management Engineering profession.
• Adopt a systems approach to design, develop, implement, manage and innovate integrated systems that include people, technology, information, energy and resources taking into account global, societal, environmental and economic contexts.
• Work and communicate effectively with multi-disciplinary team members and different types of stakeholders.
• Recognise the need and continue to develop skills and knowledge to embrace changes in society and the profession.

The BTech (Supply Chain Management) programme is building on the suite of five existing BTech programmes (Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Industrial & Management Engineering and Civil Engineering) offered by the School of Continuing and Lifelong Education (SCALE) and the Faculty of Engineering in NUS. The programme will provide an avenue for suitably qualified polytechnic diploma holders who are currently employed to pursue a part-time degree at NUS, while allowing them to stay economically productive during the course. The part-time programme will marry key components from the broad-based full-time Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) (ISE) programme with essential elements of strong industry relevance that will be immediately useful in the workplace. In this way, it will fulfil the strong aspiration of the growing number of capable polytechnic graduates to obtain a degree without the need to go overseas or give up their jobs.

The BTech (Supply Chain Management) programme is aligned with the Faculty’s educational philosophy which emphasises the learning of scientific fundamentals of engineering as a foundation for proficient and innovative practice. Interactive classroom lectures are augmented by hands-on laboratory sessions and design and research experience.

The educational objectives of the programme are as follows:

• A deep fundamental knowledge of core supply chain management, supply chain engineering and general business disciplines such as international trade law;
• Broad integrative skills to apply the knowledge gained;
• An appreciation of the interactions between modern logistics and supply chains, with engineering, business and technology in modern society;
• A drive for life-long learning and continuous self-development; and
• An understanding of their roles as supply chain analysts/ engineers in the development of Singapore society at the national and global levels.

In addition, the programme ensures that our graduates are equipped with the necessary logistics and supply chain management and engineering core competencies to meet the requirements for the practice of engineering in Singapore as stipulated by the Professional Engineers Board.

The student learning outcomes are aligned to those required by the Engineering Accreditation Board on outcomes for engineering graduates and these are as follows:

• Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to logistics and supply chain management;
• Design and conduct experiments, analyse, interpret data and synthesise valid conclusions;
• Design a system, component, or process, and synthesise solutions to achieve desired needs;
• Identify and formulate research through relevant literature review, and solve engineering problems with substantiated conclusions;
• Use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice with appropriate considerations for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental constraints;
• Communicate effectively (including listening, writing and speaking skills);
• Recognise the need for, and have the ability to engage in life-long learning;
• Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a societal context and to be able to respond effectively to the needs for sustainable development;
• Function effectively within multidisciplinary teams and understand the fundamental precepts of effective logistical and supply chain related project management; and
• Understand professional, ethical and moral responsibilities in the workplace.
