Since its establishment as one of the three founding schools of the University, the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has grown in size and stature to become one of the largest schools in electrical and electronic engineering in the world. It is today internationally renowned for its high academic standards and strong research orientation.
The School is organised into six divisions: The Division of Power Engineering, Division of Circuits and Systems, Division of Information Engineering, Division of Control and Instrumentation, Division of Communication Engineering, and , Division of Microelectronics.
The School has more than 180 full-time faculty members of broad and varied backgrounds, and with strong research and professional expertise. They are supported by more than 400 research, technical and administrative staff members. The high calibre of its faculty is matched by a well-developed teaching and research infrastructure comprising one of the most comprehensive and sophisticated constellations of research centres and laboratories in the world.
These include 12 state-of-the-art research centres, such as the Microelectronics Centre, Photonics Research Centre, Centre for Smart Energy Systems, Centre for Modelling and Control of Complex Systems, Network Technology Research Centre and Satellite Engineering Centre. These Centres are complemented by more than 50 laboratories that cover the full range of electrical and electronic engineering activities.
Apart from teaching, faculty members collaborate actively with renowned overseas universities, research institutes and multinational companies.
The faculty’s research output is widely recognised for its quality; a quality that has enabled the School to successfully attract around S$38 million of research funding in 2008. Faculty members also published a total of 751 SCI journal papers and 462 conference papers. As a measure of the high professional standing of the School’s faculty members, more than 60 international journals have appointed these distinguished academics as editorial members.
The School offers the Bachelor degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering as well as in Information Engineering and Media. It also offers several specialised Master of Science programs by coursework as well as the Master of Engineering and PhD programs by research. It has also formed strategic alliances with renowned overseas universities to offer graduate coursework programs such as the Integrated Bachelor-Master program with the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Joint Master of Science programs with the Technical University of Munich.
