Accreditation

Our Bachelor of Engineering Science (Engineering Specialisation) degree at NTU Renaissance Engineering Programme (REP) is accredited by The Institution of Engineers Singapore, the Singapore signatory of the Washington Accord, through its Engineering Accreditation Board. The Washington Accord is an international agreement for mutual recognition of the substantial equivalence of engineering academic programmes in satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional level.

The graduates of the REP are expected to demonstrate the following accomplishments, which are the Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) for the Bachelor of Engineering Science (Engineering Specialisation):

  1. Implement innovative solutions that integrate sound engineering principles with entrepreneurial vision and business acumen across a range of careers

  2. Lead multi-disciplinary teams deploying good communication skills that draw on a global perspective and high cross-cultural awareness

  3. Make an active, constructive and ethical contribution to society with a strong sense of professional responsibility 

The Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for the B.Eng.Sc. follow the engineering programme SLOs, which are stipulated by the EAB, are as follows:

  • Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing and engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialisation as specified in WK1 to WK4 respectively to the solution of complex engineering problems.
  • Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences with holistic considerations for sustainable development. (WK1 to WK4)
  • Design / Development of Solutions: Design creative solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet identified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon as well as resource, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations as required. (WK5)
  • Investigation: Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge (WK8) and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
  • Modern Tool Usage: Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations. (WK2 and WK6)
  • The Engineer and the World: When solving complex engineering problems, analyse and evaluate sustainable development impacts to: society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks and the environment (WK1, WK5, and WK7).
  • Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion (WK9).
  • Individual and Collaborative Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multidisciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings (WK9).
  • Communication: Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.
  • Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making, and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
  • Life-long Learning: Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to (i) engage in independent and life-long learning, and (ii) adapt to new and emerging technologies, and (iii) think critically, in the broadest context of technological change (WK8).
