Did youknow?

Chemical Engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical sciences (e.g., chemistry and physics), and life sciences (e.g., biology, microbiology and biochemistry) with mathematics and economics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. In addition to producing useful materials, modern chemical engineering is also concerned with pioneering valuable new materials and techniques – such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and biomedical engineering.

The CBE programme aims to produce a new generation of Chemical and Biomolecular engineering graduates with strong quantitative and analytical skills as well as engineering know-how for excelling in traditional chemical/ petrochemical/pharmaceutical industries as well as other emerging fields upon graduation.

Bioengineering is a fusion between the various disciplines of Engineering and Biomedical Sciences. The BIE programme has been revamped, and is 86% similar to the biomedical/bioengineering/biological engineering programmes offered by the top four American universities. The BIE curriculum at NTU blends modern biological principles with advanced engineering methods in medical imaging, instrumentations, electronics, materials and tissue engineering to train high calibre engineers for the healthcare industry, especially in medical devices, regulatory affairs and hospitals.

Degree Programme in BioEngineering


• Petrochemicals• Biopharmaceuticals• Specialty Chemicals• Food/Flavours/Fragrances• Nanotechnology• Trading and Finance related jobs in relevant industries

• Chemical and Energy Engineering• Pharmaceutical Engineering and Biotechnology• Electronics (Processing)

The chemical and biomedical engineering industries have been experiencing a healthy growth both locally and globally. Highly trained and capable engineers in the relevant areas are valued in these stimulating fields. The School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (SCBE) was established to fulfil this burgeoning demand.

At the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering , two direct honours degree programmes are offered in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE), and Bioengineering (BIE) to train a new generation of engineers through a curriculum that integrates the principles of engineering with fundamentals of life and chemical sciences.

Special emphasis is given to projects and group work so that students gain hands-on experience throughout their programme. At the end of the day, our students graduate with in-depth theoretical knowledge and extensive hands-on experience; skills that are much sought after in the industry.

Singapore’s Infocomm industry has seen much growth and enhancement with the Singapore government’s Intelligent Nation Masterplan (iN2015). With the government investing over a few hundred million dollars in the local Infocomm industry, students can look forward to a surge in demand for quality graduates.

This programme is a distinctive fusion of computer engineering and electronics engineering. Students are trained in electronics engineering, software design and hardware-software integration. Areas of specialisation include Digital Media, Embedded Systems, High Performance Computing, and Networking and Mobility. Graduates of Computer Engineering are highly valued and sought after in the IT industry for their broad knowledge of programming and electronics, coupled with the specialist skills in software and hardware interfacing.

This programme offers a more focused study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, as well as practical techniques for their implementation and application in large scale software systems. Computer Science shares some common topics with Computer Engineering, including computer networks, information storage and management. The differences are in the emphasis placed at the algorithmic and conceptual levels. Computer Science focuses more on software design and construction, and does not include subjects on circuits, basic electronics, or digital communications. Areas of specialisation include Digital Media, High Performance Computing, Information Systems and Intelligent Systems.

Supported by our dedicated pool of faculty, we offer many invaluable opportunities for our undergraduates to explore future applications in materials technologies, from a wide range of research specialties that is available.

We have an excellent history of turning innovative ideas into commercial successes. Many of our research efforts have received international recognition and attracted multi-million dollar grants from local and overseas organisations. To encourage innovation amongst our undergraduate and graduate students, the MSE Ian Ferguson Innovation Challenge is held annually to spur innovative thinking and prototype development.

Our students also enjoy close collaborations with renowned universities, research institutions and industry leaders like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Ben Gurion University, Northwestern University, 3M, Bosch and Renewable Energy Corp (REC) in the form of joint laboratories on campus or industry-sponsored projects. These links and collaborations will provide ample opportunities for students to put theories learnt in classrooms into practice.

Did youknow?

First to offer an Aerospace degree in Singapore. The programme received full accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Board, through the Institute of Engineers, Singapore (IES) in 2011.

The fastest-rising Asian university among the world’s top 50 universities, NTU’s School of MAE was ranked 11th in the world, according to 2013 QS World University Rankings by Subject.

Since the invention of the wheel, man has been looking to go faster, further and higher. We have come a long way since Henry Ford gave us the first mass-produced motor vehicle and the Wright Brothers showed us what it means to take flight. None of which would be possible without mechanical and aerospace engineers. The School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) will arm you with the knowledge and resources to spark the next evolution in mechanical and aerospace technology. Where will you take us tomorrow?

The technology landscape is changing rapidly as we position our students to exploit the advances in robotics, nanotechnology, aerospace, life sciences, and more. Many of our graduates are already contributing to the development of the technologies of the future. We are proud of our state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research, which go a long way in enhancing our students’ learning experience.

Students from the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering will work on projects that include solar powered vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles; robots and intelligent systems for new generation manufacturing; biomedical sensors, actuators and

other life-saving systems; micro-electromechanical systems; information storage systems; microprocessor driven consumer products and energy systems. Not only will our students gain knowledge, they will also get to put it to action and solve real world problems!

Additionally, students undergo a 20-week industrial attachment programme with prestigious companies such as Rolls-Royce International, that not only provides crucial work exposure but also instils in them the right work attitudes and professionalism to become effective and productive professionals in their future careers.

The School of MAE offers two degree programmes: Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering.

The Aerospace Engineering programme is more focused, equipping students with specialty training and tools for seamless entry into the challenging aerospace industry. Students acquire knowledge in areas such as Aerodynamics, Aircraft Design and Aircraft Propulsion.

Degree Programme in Aerospace Engineering
