    In your first year, you will be introduced to basic concepts of environmental science, engineering and technology with modules such as Fundamentals of Engineering Principles, Environmental Microbiology & Biotechnology and Hydraulics. You will also learn basic data analysis and technical drawing skills in the module Data Analytics & Drafting. From the second year onwards, you will learn in-depth modules in various aspects of environmental engineering and water technology, such as air and water quality monitoring & control.

    In your final year, you will work on an environmental innovation & research project and go on a six-month internship. You can opt for hands-on learning opportunities at our Environmental & Water Technology Centre of Innovation (EWTCOI) and work alongside research engineers and scientists on industry-based projects.

    With additional Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) Certificates in Noise Monitoring, Industrial Noise Control and Risk Management, you can look forward to better job prospects in the industry.

    ^ Interdisciplinary Studies (IS) modules account for 13 credit units of the diploma curriculum. They include modules in communication, innovation and world issues, as well as an interdisciplinary project. By bringing students from diverse diplomas together, the interdisciplinary project fosters collaboration to explore and propose solutions for real-world problems. IS aims to develop students to be agile and self-directed learners, ready for the future workplace.

    ^* For selected students only.

    To keep our curriculum current and robust, diploma modules are subject to change over the three years. Please visit our website for latest updates.

    CAREERYou will be ready for careers in government agencies, multinational corporations, university laboratories and research institutes. The EWT course provides you with the foundation and flexibility to work in the various sectors ranging from chemical, environment to civil and workplace safety & health. Additional WSQ certificates will also qualify you for jobs such as a Noise Monitoring or Noise Control Officer.

    FURTHER STUDIESYou can pursue a wide range of degree programmes offered by National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore Management University, Singapore University of Technology and Design and Singapore University of Social Sciences. These include degree courses in architecture, chemistry, civil engineering and environmental engineering.

    Participating in overseas internship and study trips, competitions, and working on an industry project were some of the valuable opportunities during my 3 years as an EWT student. My team collaborated with NEA and Singtel in our FYP project to develop a smart device to fight rodent infestation in Singapore.
