The BCA Academy o the Built Environment is the education and research

arm o the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), Singapore.

Founded in 1984 as the Construction Industry Training Centre (CITC),

its main role was the training o crat workers or the rapidly growing

construction industry. In 1994, the Centre was renamed the Construction

Industry Training Institute (CITI) and was moved to its purpose-built

campus at Braddell Road. CITI was restructured and transormed to

become the BCA Academy in 2007. Whilst the training o cratsmen

or the construction industry remains a key ocus, the BCA Academy

now takes on the new challenge o equipping proessionals, managers,

executives and technicians with the knowledge, skills and competency

to operate eectively in a technologically advanced and modern builtenvironment sector.

Today, the BCA Academy is probably the only institution in the world

that provides a ull range o training and education programmes tailored

to meet the diverse needs o the building industry at all levels.

As we move towards a knowledge-based economy,

the industry must restructure itsel to ensure that

those who work on the construction sites are highly

productive, sae and have high standards. These high

standards will translate to a stronger demand or

knowledge-based skilled workorce in the near uture,

making the Diploma in Construction Engineering

a premium qualication or those aspiring to be

successul builders in this new millennium.

The Diploma in Construction Engineering provides

graduates with a head-start or their career in the

construction industry. This qualication is acceptableor registration as a Resident Technical Ofcer under

the Building Control Act.

The active push or Singapore

buildings to be green has

generated a strong demand or

a new green collar workorce.This has created an urgent need

or associate proessionals with

the knowledge and skills to apply

the latest knowledge in green

building technology (GBT) and

mechanical services to design,
