Yeong Yoong Sze, Class of 2024, B.Eng in Environmental Engineering
I'm grateful for the strong foundation in environmental design theories and methods provided by the Environmental Engineering course. I particularly enjoyed courses that incorporated practical projects. Applying theoretical knowledge to real-world case studies enhanced my understanding, and the insights gained contributed to my success in competitions.
Collaborating with my coursemates was another rewarding experience. We supported each other through challenging problems, fostering a sense of accomplishment upon project completion. I am inspired by my professors whose willingness to listen, encouragement, and guidence has been invaluable.
My intership in coastal and water infrastructure projects helped ignite a strong passion for the sector. The supportive environment has made me eager to rejoin the team post-graduation. The people I have met at NTU have led me to lifelong friendships and inspired me in many ways. These have significantly influenced my personal growth and shaped my future aspirations.
Samuel See, Class of 2022, B.Eng in Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering is becoming an increasingly important and popular programme as the world begins to acknowledge the environmental problems caused by past generations and are preparing for future issues.
Another factor that makes each university's ENE department unique is the tenured professors. In NTU CEE, our professors are well-known in their respective fields, be it membrane technology or greeen building materials, so students are able to receive good mentorship and guidance should they wish to explore different subjects.
Eng Xue Er, Class of 2020, B.Eng in Environmental Engineering
Ever wondered how blessed we are to breathe fresh air and drink clean water? Ever thought of being a champion for these blessings of ours? Well, NTU Environmental Engineering is the answer to all your questions!
During my time at CEE, I was exposed to a wide range of engineering principles and solutions aimed at tackling environmental issues resulting from our actions. This discovery spurred my desire to safeguard the environment. Backed by many approachable professors who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences, I can say that you will never be alone on this journey.
Additionally, we don't just study hard, we play hard too! At NTU, you will be provided with a vast amount of opportunities such as Overseas Exchange Programs to broaden your horizon and appreciate the cultural differences, Freshmen Orientation Programs to build on your leadership and communication skills and internships to learn more about the industry!
So, what are you waiting for?
Goh Jing Yaw, Class of 2017, B.Eng in Environmental Engineering
School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) has enabled us to discover our hidden potentials and to develop known existing strengths. The comprehensive and dynamic curriculum offered by CEE have continuously empower all undergraduates to be the leaders of tomorrow.
I had a vibrant undergraduate experience in NTU CEE, with opportunities to participate in conferences and representing NTU in competitions.
