STUDENT EXPERIENCE

My experience at SCBE has been nothing short of enriching and exciting.

Besides the rigour of the academic curriculum, I had the opportunity to take on

leadership roles through the NTU Students’ Union Council and the SCBE Club.

These made my undergraduate journey an unforgettable one as I forged strong

friendships with my peers in the Club, gained invaluable management skills, and

grew in many personal aspects. My internship at Exploit Technologies Pte Ltd,

the technology transfer office of A*STAR, was a fulfilling one, with plenty of

opportunities for me to experience an actual working environment.

Engineering education with CoE is definitely one which develops creativity, critical

thinking and problem solving skills that can be applied not only to work

environments but also to our personal lives.

I was always struck by the helpfulness and warmth of the faculty and staff. The

professors were always generous in sharing their knowledge, the administrative staff

were prompt in rendering help and the lab technicians were patient in accommodating

experiential learning. I was fortunate to be given the privilege to embark on three

separate trips with the school - a business trip to Shanghai under the Professional

Attachment programme; a 10-day exchange programme to Tokyo; and an international

bridge design competition in Melbourne. These opportunities enabled me to learn from

the best practices around the world and gave me great exposure to overseas

construction industries. I have also honed my interpersonal, leadership and time

management skills during these four years.

If I were asked to sum up my experience at NTU CoE in three words,

it would be fun, fulfilling and fascinating.

My undergraduate journey with SCE will remain very memorable.

The professors are not only enthusiastic and supportive, but very knowledgeable in

the subjects they teach. This is very important as it motivates the students to learn

the subject.

In my second year, I had the invaluable opportunity to embark on an overseas exchange

programme to Sweden. This 6-month programme allowed me to immerse in another

culture and make new friends from different parts of the world. It was an unforgettable

experience and I became more independent and confident.

I was also given the chance to do internships in both Citigroup and J.P. Morgan Chase &

Co in my third year. These were very enriching experiences as I was able to experience

the life of an IT professional in the financial industry. SCE has prepared me well for my

career and I was able to apply the skills learnt in school in achieving my task at work. I am

also fortunate to be offered a full-time position as an analyst at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

Life at CoE had been an amazing experience. Education in EEE focuses

not only on the learning of fundamental knowledge, but also on the practical application of

knowledge. At EEE, we are always encouraged to innovate and think out of the box. This has

allowed us to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills to come out with creative

solutions for the ever-changing world. EEE also has a strong and excellent network of

industry partners, which provides us with the opportunities to work in top-notch local and

foreign companies. The Professional Internship programme allowed me to gain actual

working experiences even before I graduated.

There were also ample opportunities for global exposure. I was lucky to be able to go to

Hong Kong for my Summer Studies and to Laos and Myanmar for the EEE Leadership,

Enrichment and Development (LEAD) overseas community involvement programmes and

overseas cultural programmes. These were unforgettable and wonderful experiences as

I was able to explore different cultures and broaden my horizons.

STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Apart from the rigorous academic curriculum that equips

us with the knowledge required for hands-on learning,

I also had many other opportunities for personal

development. These included conducting undergraduate

research, representing MSE at the University Scholars

Leadership Symposium in Hong Kong, taking part in an

overseas community involvement programme in Laos

and organising events such as the MSE Freshmen

Orientation Camp. Through these opportunities,

I acquired new skills, gained exposure to different

situations, and increased my awareness and

understanding of problems around the world, which, in

turn, have broadened my global perspective.

I am also very blessed to have met very kind friends and

caring mentors. I really appreciate the fact that MSE

matches every undergraduate with a professor as our

school mentor. My mentor would meet up with me twice

every semester to check on my progress, offer guidance

when needed, and give advice on both academic and

non-academic related matters.
