Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The PEOs of Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) prepare students to:
  • Be competent and engaged engineering professionals for succeeding in their environmental engineering profession or other fields of their interest;
  • Possess problem solving, lifelong learning and digital skills for continuing professional development;
  • Be competent in addressing multi-disciplinary challenges in complex environmental engineering problems and to provide economical and sustainable solutions;
  • Possess effective management and leadership skills within their professional domain; and
  • Have an entrepreneurial spirit to seize growth opportunities in infrastructure.


Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
  • Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals, and environmental engineering specialisation to the solution of complex environmental engineering problems.
  • Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyse complex environmental engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
  • Design/development of Solutions: Design solutions for complex environmental engineering problems and design system components or processes with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  • Investigation: Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge and methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
  • Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex environmental engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
  • The Engineer and Society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
  • Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and the need for the sustainable development.
  • Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional and moral responsibilities in the environmental engineering practice.
  • Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
  • Communication: Communicate effectively on complex environmental engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, be able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation and make effective presentations.
  • Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and economic decision-making, and apply these to work, as a member and leader in a multidisciplinary team.
  • Life-long Learning: Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological evolution.


Courses offered include fluid mechanics, hydrology, environmental chemistry, environmental processes, and environmental microbiology, water supply engineering, wastewater engineering, solid waste engineering, geo-environmental engineering, hydraulics and basic structural design.


During the course of study, students also have the chance to register for Professional Internship (PI) in a private company or public organization, where they learn to practice environmental engineering under the guidance of experienced engineers and managers.

Students can opt for Specialization in Civil Infrastructure in Year 3 and Year 4. Upon completion of the following five courses, students will receive a certificate and are eligible to sit for Professional Engineer Examination with the Professional Engineers Board, Singapore.
