Since the formation of the Division of Environmental Science
and Engineering (ESE) in April 2005, ESE has organized
itself to provide an integrated interdisciplinary education
and research-based programs traditionally hosted in Civil
and Chemical Engineering departments. The programs emphasize
multi- and trans-disciplinary approaches toward solving
complex environmental problems. This arrangement facilitates
ESE to pursue its overarching objective to impart to
students a sound scientific knowledge, combined with
advanced engineering capabilities, so that they may
understand local, regional and international environmental
issues.
ESE provides ample opportunities for the development of
appropriate technologies and systems to address
environmental issues that are strongly non-linear processes
and therefore demand an approach transcending traditional
research boundaries and paradigms.
We provide comprehensive and stimulating education at both
undergraduate and postgraduate levels and seek bright,
creative and inquisitive individuals to pursue their dreams
with us. We actively encourage students to participate in
exploratory research and experiential learning during their
time with us.
By 2050, it is estimated that more than 40% of the world's
population would be deprived access to fresh water. The
situation requires immediate ramification. Do you have a
calling that will lead you to pursue water quality and
treatment, used-water reclamation and reuse, membrane
separations & technologies and water resources? Let your
passion find expression at ESE.
Want to play an integral role in the green revolution?
Travel with us into relatively uncharted waters of energy
resources, conservation and renewable energy.
Are you fascinated by environmental chemistry, biochemistry,
microbiology & biotechnology; human & environmental health;
nano-biotechnology & nano-materials; sensor systems in air,
land & water; and separation science and technologies? We
are proactively working and training students in these
areas.
Are you excited about aerosol science and technology, air
pollution assessment and control, climate change? Come join
us in our passionate endeavours in these areas.
We also investigate areas of hazardous and solid waste,
marine & coastal systems, and sustainable development.
Singapore is a dynamic place to live, study and play! Come
join ESE at NUS where there are no walls in your pursue of
excellence and the sky is the limit.
Interested? Cool! Come join us and let's build a green and
sustainable future.
