Project Engineer, Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore
Rapid urbanisation presents opportunities and challenges to society. Civil engineers stand at the crossroads and dream of the possibilities that lie ahead. At NTU CEE, you get to build the foundations necessary to be part of this. Here, future engineers are developed to be adaptable and creative problem solvers.
The academically rigorous curriculum has honed my engineering competencies while broadening my worldview. It separates the lab courses from the actual courses and hence gives more time to cover the content courses, instead of skimming trhrough it to cater for an integrated session within those courses. Through internships, research projects, global exposure, and personal development, I have had no shortage of avenues to learn outside the classroom.
Most importantly, I take pride in the tightly knit community student have with faculty and staff.
Civil Engineering has one of the highest post-graduation employment rates because of the nature of civil works that are rarely out of demand. This makes it very easy for graduates to find a job in the civil engineering sector. It is a relatively manageable programme, students will have time to pursue other CCAs.
Thng Xiong Jie Terence (Bachelor of Civil Engineering, Class of 2020)
Structural Engineer, DP Engineers Pte Ltd
I am currently a Structural Engineer in DP Engineers Pte Ltd, an engineering consultancy firm. My role is to undertake structural analysis, calculations and prepare design sketches and drawings indicating the design intent for building projects. This includes ensuring that the design intent meet the relevant design codes, requirements, regulations, and client’s expectations. My job also requires me to prepare the technical reports documenting the analysis and design results for authority submissions and subsequent correspondences.
As a design consultant, I work with different stakeholders (e.g., architects, mechanical and electrical engineers, contractors, etc.) to ensure a well-coordinated, smooth and safe delivery of project to the client. My job is satisfying as I get to see my design turns into reality on the ground where people get to work, study and live in. It is a rewarding job knowing that I can play a part in shaping the landscape of Singapore.
NTU Civil Engineering programme covers a wide range of civil engineering fields, ranging from Structural Engineering to Geotechnical Engineering, to Transportation Engineering and Environmental Engineering. This allows graduates to embark into their interested field of civil engineering upon graduation. The contents covered in NTU Civil Engineering are practical and relevant to the real-life applications. I get to apply the knowledge and skills that I have acquired into practical uses in my job as a design engineer.
The best memories of my time in NTU Civil Engineering would be the friendships that I have made at NTU. The times where we studied and worked on projects together, to joining various activities to have fun in. Even after we have graduated and joined various sectors of the Built Environment industry (e.g., government agencies, developers, consultants, contractors), we remain in close contact with each other.
To potential applicants, a career in the Built Environment Industry is not dull but exciting and fulfilling. Do reach out to the professors, staffs, and seniors in NTU CEE to find out more about the course. To existing students, never stop learning and continue to expand your knowledge and skills through various avenues such as internships, seminar events, workshops, and webinars. See you around in the Built Environment industry!Bryan Goh (Bachelor of Civil Engineering, Class of 2020)
Executive Engineer, RSP Architects Planners & Engineers (Pte) Ltd (RSP)
Civil Engineering has become more than just mixing concrete and digging up earth. Nowadays, civil engineering projects employ robotics and modelling software.
Being student in CEE does not mean that you would...be in a construction firm after graduation. Some CEE students can aslo do design work to ensure the stability of their structures using advanced calculation softwares and technology. Some students can even major in urban planning and development.
