CIVIL ENGINEERINGBACHELOR OF ENGINEERING WITH HONOURSMASTER OF ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

The Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) programme plays an important role in addressing the lack of local graduate manpower with the necessary civil engineering professional qualifications for the building and construction industry in the face of sustained building and infrastructure development.

Upon successful completion of their BEng (Hons), students may continue with the Master of Engineering Technology in Civil Engineering graduate degree that will qualify them to apply to sit for the professional examination, conducted by the Professional Engineers Board of Singapore. They may take the exam immediately, or finish the BEng (Hons) first and gain some relevant working experience before coming back to pursue the MEngTech degree later. In this way, they can study

at a pace that best suits their individual needs and abilities.

Strong emphasis is placed on the industrial relevance in the curriculum development of BEng (Hons) and MEngTech programmes in consultation with government agencies and companies from the construction sector.

Students will acquire deep specialist training at the MEngTech level which consists of five compulsory core modules and five selected modules taught at an advanced graduate level depending on the area of specialisation in Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering or Rail Engineering.

Through a heavy emphasis on project-based learning and industrial immersion, this programme aims to produce industry-ready graduates who are equipped with a high level of technical expertise to address multidisciplinary challenges, provide technically sound, economically feasible and sustainable solutions to civil engineering problems.

Professor Chiew Sing Ping, Programme Director, Civil Engineering, Singapore Institute of Technology:

The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours

in Civil EngineeringBEng (Hons)

degree programme is jointly offered by SIT and the University of

Glasgow (UofG).

INTEGRATED WORK STUDY PROGRAMMEStudents will undergo an eight month continuous structured learning and work programme in the construction industry that exposes them to both design office and field/site supervision experience. In addition, the capstone project is embedded within the IWSP, and students will start to formalise and propose their projects during the first semester of IWSP with input from their industrial supervisors.

Field/site supervision experience is mandatory for professional registration and this experience can contribute to accreditation and recognition of work experience required for registration as Resident Engineer with IES/ACES.

Overseas Immersion Programme (OIP) Students will participate in an intensive three week Overseas Immersion Programme (OIP) at the home campus of the University of Glasgow where they will be able to experience life as a student in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The OIP course will involve a group design-based project which will examine both the conceptual and detailed aspects of structural design. It will involve different areas of the civil engineering discipline including:

- Site Selection- ArchitecturalAppraisal

- Computer Aided Drawing

- Foundation Design

- Structural Concept Design

- Structural Analysis

- A Full Structural Design of The Building
