From the Dean
Why Study computing at CCDS?
Artificial intelligence is transforming the technological landscape. At CCDS, our approach to computing education combines rigorous foundations with the ability to engage critically and responsibly with AI.
In this message, Dean Luke Ong shares how CCDS prepares students to lead in an AI-shaped world.
At NTU Open House 2026, CCDS Dean Prof Luke Ong addresses three questions about computing education and career prospects.
1. Why is it still valuable to study Computing/AI at University?
2. What is the job prospect of Computing/AI graduates?
3. Why study Computing/AI at NTU?
2. What is the job prospect of Computing/AI graduates?

Our Approach to Learning
Learn with AI
AI is reshaping how software is built - and how computing must be taught. CCDS is redesigning education across all programmes under a clear framework, guided by three principles.
1
Human–AI Collaboration
AI is treated as augmented intelligence. Students learn to collaborate with AI tools - and to direct, critique, and verify what AI produces.
2
Students Must Own Their Thinking
AI can help students work faster. It cannot replace the intellectual work that builds mastery. Assessments ensure students remain accountable for their own understanding.
3
Meta-Skills for Adaptability
The AI landscape will keep evolving. CCDS places emphasis on "learning to learn" - structured reflection and responsible, declared use of AI tools.
Learn with AI, but think for yourself.

Welcome to CCDS
Where Computing Meets Consequence
At CCDS, we educate computing professionals for a world where AI is not a novelty - it is infrastructure. Our programmes are built on strong foundations: rigorous mathematics, disciplined engineering, and the kind of systems thinking that does not go out of date.
We integrate AI deliberately into teaching and research, holding students accountable for understanding what they build - not just producing output. Graduates leave here ready to lead in technology, not just use it.
