The Division offers a four-year undergraduate programme leading to the Bachelor of Engineering degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, B.Eng. (CBE). Upon graduation, successful students will be awarded direct honors.
The programme amalgamates principles of chemical engineering and life sciences (biology, biochemistry and genetics ) to facilitate the development of safe, profitable and environmentally friendly processes for the synthesis and manufacture of products from chemical/biological raw materials.
The Institution of Engineers, Singapore through its Engineering Accreditation Board has granted accreditation to our Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) programme for students graduating from the programme since 2007/2008.
With its dynamic faculty from the internationally renowned universities, modern infrastructure and state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities, the School provides students a stimulating learning environment and opportunities to identify and pursue personal and professional goals.

Student
Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
The programme must demonstrate that by the time of
graduation, the students have attained the following graduate attributes:
1) Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering
fundamentals, and an engineering specialisation to the solution of complex
engineering problems.
2) Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyse complex
engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles
of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3) Design/development of Solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems
and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with
appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and
environmental considerations.
4) Investigation: Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based
knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and
interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid
conclusions.
5) Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and
modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex
engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
6) 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.
7) Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional
engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate
the knowledge of, and need for the sustainable development.
8) Ethics: Apply
ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and
norms of the engineering practice.
9) Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse
teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
10) Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the
engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to
comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective
presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
11) Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the
engineering and management principles and economic decision-making, and apply
these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects
and in multidisciplinary environments.
12) 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
change.
