Brief History

Past Publication

CEE 31st Anniversary - Year 2012
The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) was one of the three pioneering engineering schools when the university first started as Nanyang Technological Institute in 1981, offering the Bachelor of Engineering programme in Civil Engineering. It was then called the School of Civil and Structural Engineering (CSE). In 2002, it was renamed School of Civil and Environmental Engineering due to increasing emphasis on the environment and the significant strength of the school had gained in this area. Thereafter, the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering programme was introduced in 2003. In 2004, in addition to the existing Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering programmes, a new undergraduate programme in Maritime Studies was inaugurated.
