DCE Title block-Overview

Is this course for me? 

Are you a strategic thinker who is intrigued by how cities are actually designed and built? Do you have an affinity for understanding how these systems work in harmony, how they are first conceived and how they are constructed? Do you want to pursue a fulfilling career with a wide spectrum of exposure? Do you want to make a difference to the lives of individuals, society and the civilized world as a whole? If your answer to these questions is a resounding “Yes!”, then Civil Engineering is a career path you might want to seriously consider. Civil Engineering is involved in the whole value chain of all infrastructures, such as skyscrapers, highways, bridges, airports, railways etc., from the very beginning of design, to construction and finally the maintenance of these completed developments. Civil Engineers are responsible for ensuring all works are done in a professional and ethical manner, and most importantly, safe for our daily usage.

Global trends shaping the industry and the course

Singapore’s construction demand is expected to remain strong with larger and more complex projects such as Changi Airport Terminal 5, Jurong Region and Cross Island MRT lines coming up. With stable and sustained growth in construction demand over the next few years, the built environment sector needs to be more productive and competitive by continuing to leverage technologies and emerging trends.

In the most recent Built Environment Industry Transformation Map (BE ITM), 3 key strategies, namely Integrated Planning and Design, Advanced Manufacturing and Assembly, and Sustainable Urban Systems, are formulated to drive collaboration, automate fabrication and accelerate decarbonisation in the BE sector. The curriculum at DCE will equip you with the skillsets that are aligned with the BE ITM.
