4 BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY (B.TECH) PROGRAMME The Bachelor of Technology Programme is a part-time programme leading to one of the following degrees: Bachelor of Technology (Chemical Engineering) Bachelor of Technology (Electronics Engineering) Bachelor of Technology (Industrial & Management Engineering) Bachelor of Technology (Mechanical Engineering) The B.Tech Programme is a high-quality part-time evenings-only programme introduced in response to the strong aspirations of the large number of working polytechnic diploma holders to upgrade themselves towards an engineering degree. Specially tailored to meet the background and needs of polytechnic graduates working in local industry, it provides an affordable avenue for these graduates to upgrade without having to leave their jobs or to go overseas. The high opportunity cost of giving up their jobs and losing their income for several years, and the high living cost overseas have attracted many to the B.Tech Programme. The modular structure of the course also enables students to study at their own pace depending on their family and work commitments. To date, more than 5000 students have taken advantage of the opportunity offered by the B.Tech Programme and more than 2700 B.Tech graduates are now enjoying the fruits of their effort, working in higher positions in industry. Students enrolled in the B.Tech Programme study while they continue to acquire work experience. This mode of study, while more demanding, has the significant advantage that theories and analyses learned in the classroom can readily be related and translated to actual applications in engineering practice and vice versa. Furthermore, by the time they graduate, B.Tech students would not only have acquired a highly recognised degree from a Faculty ranked among the top 13 global universities for Engineering and Technology, they would also have gained several years of valuable industrial work experience. The B.Tech courses follow closely the academic curriculum of, and are of comparable academic standards with, the full-time Bachelor of Engineering courses offered in NUS. The same highly qualified lecturers and first-class laboratory facilities are used. Graduates of the B.Tech Programme have been admitted to Masters and Ph.D studies at NUS and elsewhere. ACCREDITATION The Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) of Singapore has granted full accreditation to all B.Tech degrees. Singapore became a full signatory of the Washington Accord in June Under the Washington Accord, these degrees will thus be mutually recognized by other signatory countries which include the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and more than a dozen other countries. APPLICATIONS FOR ADMISSION There are two intakes a year for all the B.Tech courses with Intake I commencing in August and Intake II commencing in January of each Academic Year. Applications for admission will be invited through the local newspapers.

After graduation, I got a few offers through the campus job fair with a decent pay rise. I enjoyed the freedom of exploring a few careers before settling down with my current job as a Lecturer. Through the B.Tech Programme, my self confidence level, passion for lifelong learning and the ability to manage stressful situations have increased. The B.Tech Programme is really a very interesting and useful course. The lecturers and support staff are all great and very helpful. Thanks to the strong influence of NUS lecturers, I have selected teaching as my profession. NEELAKANDAN SIVANANTHAM (Mechanical Engineering) It had been an enriching four years pursuing the B.Tech degree in NUS. After enrolling into the Programme in January 2009, I received promotions almost every year from the position of Technologist to Technical Specialist and subsequently to Senior Associate Engineer before becoming a Process Engineer. Through B.Tech, I now feel more confident and the added knowledge that enables me to excel at work surely gives me an edge. My Final Year Project was also related to my work and I was given an A+ grade for it. A great deal of credit for my present success goes to NUS B.Tech. DEVARAJ JAYACHANDRAN (Chemical Engineering) "It would not be an exaggeration if I say the NUS B.Tech Programme and some of the Professors I met in NUS have completely changed my career and life. When I first joined the B.Tech Programme, I was not so buoyant about my performance as I had been away from school for more than 7 years. Fortunately, as the course progressed, I was fascinated and impassioned by the intellectual environment in NUS and committed myself to do my best. Following my graduation, I wanted to do a PhD and applied to top universities in North America and UK. I had offers from Purdue University, Georgia Tech, University of Pittsburgh and University College London, all with full tuition fee waiver and scholarship. Purdue offered me the prestigious Lynn Fellowship (Computational Life Sciences Fellowship), so I joined Purdue in The B.Tech course has prepared me well for my PhD and I expect to graduate soon.
