Design and EngineeringCivil and Environmental Engineeringceecv@nus.edu.sgDepartment of Civil & Environmental Engineering The National University of Singapore Block E1A, #07-03 No.1 Engineering Drive 2 Singapore 117576- The NUS Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) has grown tremendously within the Faculty of Engineering since its inception in 1955, and continues to evolve with its unique strength to cater to the needs of all stakeholders including students, alumni, industry partners and academic collaborators.
- The Department of Civil Engineering (CE) and the Division of Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE) were merged to form the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) in November 2010. This consolidation of educational and research programmes has enhanced the tenure-track faculty count in CEE to more than 50 and augmented NUS’ ability to offer top-quality educational programmes of choice to students and to pursue interdisciplinary research in areas of strategic importance to Singapore and beyond. Since the merger, CEE Department is experiencing a spurt of growth with expertise in diverse areas including Environmental, Geotechnical, Materials, Structural, Transportation and Water Resource Engineering, as well as, in construction and offshore engineering. CEE now finds itself in advantageous position to facilitate interdisciplinary approaches to tackle new challenges facing the growth of cities due to rapid urbanisation, such as our changing population profile, water resources management, rising energy costs, resource constraints, air pollution, climate change, underground space creation and sustainability.
