Are you looking for an education that will expose you to real-world scenarios, domain expertise and cutting-edge research? At the College of Design and Engineering (CDE), we offer you a learning experience that will enable you to thrive in your future professional roles.
Our vision is to be a leading college uniting creative minds to build a better future. We aim to inspire, innovate, and transform the world by forging new frontiers.
CDE builds on the convergence between the disciplines of engineering, architecture, and design to offer a distinctive interdisciplinary educational experience for our students and foster a cutting-edge multi-disciplinary research environment for our researchers.
By working across different expert domains, CDE students will build and design their learning pathways and gain exposure to real-world scenarios. Our students have wider options to build a broad intellectual foundation while earning marketable skills to enhance their careers. Most importantly we inspire our students, through the CDE experience, to develop a mindset of continuous learning and adaptability; important to thrive in a fast-changing world.
With the joining of world-class research capabilities across Engineering, Architecture and Design, the College will further expand our research focus into frontiers where design, technology and human factors meet, and multidisciplinary collaboration is enhanced. At the CDE we unite creative minds to address some of the most challenging problems in technology, sustainability, and the environment to build a better future.
For undergraduates, you can craft your own degree based on how broad, deep, or integrated you want your education to be. Your 40-module makeup will consist of a Common Curriculum, a major of your choice, and a wide range of Unrestricted Electives. The Unrestricted Elective space gives you the flexibility to choose if you would like to take a second major, minors, specialisations, general electives, or a combination of them depending on your aptitude and interests.
For graduate research, the research-based programmes provide training in a particular subject area through independent investigation, study and experimental work, culminating in the submission of a thesis on the research undertaken. You will be provided with excellent opportunities to be immersed in a vibrant research-intensive environment for your pursuit of a research degree.
