Since 2021, we have introduced a sustainability course in our common interdisciplinary core curriculum (ICC) for all undergraduates. This course aims to develop students with the critical skills to collaborate across disciplines to systematically analyze major sustainability challenges from the perspectives of society, economy, and the environment. Students will learn to address sustainability issues from different viewpoints and at different scales. They will then use these skills to discuss and propose solutions for sustainability challenges facing Singapore and the world.
