About Us

The College of Design and Engineering (CDE) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) offers students a distinctive, interdisciplinary education across the fields of architecture, design, and engineering. With a broad range of programmes available, including 14 undergraduate degree programmes and 30 graduate programmes encompassing both coursework and research, CDE provides students with an interdisciplinary learning experience, and equip them with skillsets and competencies to succeed in an ever-evolving professional landscape.

Furthermore, CDE is home to multidisciplinary research platforms, where the converging fields of design, technology, and human factors are explored. Our ongoing research initiatives span a wide array of focus areas, ranging from data and information systems to design, environment, and society. We delve into exciting fields such as digital twin technology, energy systems, engineering in medicine, and the creation of healthy and sustainable cities. In addition, our research also extends to infrastructure management, materials science and engineering, next-generation microelectronics, quantum engineering, next-generation ports, ocean infrastructure and renewables, robotics, and machine intelligence, as well as urban solutions and sustainability. Through these research endeavours, we strive to push the boundaries of knowledge, address complex challenges, and drive positive change and innovation in society.
