Our History
Established in 1981 as one of the three pioneering engineering schools of Nanyang Technological Institute, the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) has evolved alongside the University's growth. Originally known as the School of Civil and Structural Engineering, it was renamed in 2002 to reflect its expanding strengths in environmental engineering, followed by the introduction of the Environmental Engineering programme in 2003 and the Maritime Studies programme in 2004.
