The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is presently one of the largest engineering schools in the world with an undergraduate enrolment of over 3000 students. Our school moulds students into future-ready engineers, ready to spark new discoveries in technology and innovation. Our Undergraduate programmes strike a balance in providing a multifaceted curriculum compassing major areas in electrical and electronic engineering and cross-disciplinary courses in arts, business and humanities.

Our education roadmap is based on the following aspects:

Engineering design
Project work
Laboratory experiments
Industrial attachment programme for third-year students
Final year project

The industrial attachment programme enriches students’ learning experiences and gives them early exposure to the engineering industry. For their final year projects, students put on their thinking caps and work on real-life problems that are both research- and industrial-based.

Upon graduation, students can pursue a higher degree by research/coursework in NTU or in other countries. 

About Programme

The Bachelor of Engineering programme is a professional degree programme with a broad-based and flexible curriculum that integrates theory with industrial practice.

#1 in Asia and #4 in the world for Electrical & Electronic Engineering, according to the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject.

Programme Structure & Duration

Full Time

5 years

Curriculum

This double degree programme, jointly offered by the College of Engineering and the School of Social Sciences, aims to equip graduates with excellent knowledge and competency in engineering and economics.

Engineering underpins quality of life and economic activity. It is the art of applying science to create and enhance technology to benefit humanity. Very often, the decisions and choices in engineering design, process, product, and innovation are influenced by economic considerations. The ultimate purpose of engineering and economic endeavours is meeting human's needs and wants in the presence of resource scarcity. Hence these two disciplines are mutually inspirational and complementary.

Students will take these courses throughout their four years at the School. Click here for more information.

Accreditation

The School’s Bachelor of Engineering programmes are accredited by the Institution of Engineers Singapore (IES) through its Engineering Accreditation Board. IES is the Singapore signatory of the Washington Accord - an international agreement for mutual recognition of the substantial equivalence of engineering academic programmes, in satisfying the requirements for practising engineering at the professional level.

Our curricula provide an excellent foundation for either graduate study or employment. Education and research activities are strongly aligned with our mission and Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs).

PEOs are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the programme is preparing graduates to achieve. Our PEOs are aligned closely with EAB’s Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs).

They are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do when they graduate. Each programme also must satisfy a set of criteria specific to it, known as Specific Programme Criteria (SPC). The stipulations in the SPC chiefly concern curricular issues and qualifications of faculty.
