 Diploma in Clean Energy Management (N84) 


 

  • Covers both clean energy and energy management

  • Hands-on learning at NP’s Solar Technology Centre, Wind Technology Centre and other off-campus energy sites

  • Discover emerging clean energy technologies to meet the world’s growing energy needs

  • Local and overseas internships with leading clean energy technology and energy management companies

  


There’s a lot more to going green than just recycling your shopping bags and newspapers. After all, the world today is faced with mega challenges arising from the depletion of energy resources and climate change. What this means is that there are great opportunities and new jobs being created in the energy sector! So, if you have a passion for the environment and a head for science, then enrol for this Diploma in Clean Energy Management (CEM).

This diploma will show you just how revolutionary clean energy technology is by exposing you to both the demand and supply side of energy management. You will come to understand the various sources of renewable energy as well as the efficient use of energy.


With solar energy being a key focus of this course, you will be given hands-on training at our million-dollar Solar Technology Centre. Here, you can get to work on a newly-developed solar power system that is able to harness solar energy in wet tropical countries such as Singapore. You may also get to gather and analyse data for the nationwide Clean Energy Research & Testbedding (CERT) programme and contribute to the new National Solar Repository of Singapore.

You will also get the chance to put your learning to good use by interning with leading companies either locally or abroad. They include Marina Bay Sands, REC, Schneider Electric and Narada. You may even be chosen for an exciting exchange programme with prestigious overseas universities such as Bochum University of Applied Sciences in Germany! 


Job prospects for CEM grads are bright indeed, as Singapore gears up to become a global clean energy hub. In fact, the Economic Development Board has projected a need for some 3,500 skilled personnel in the industry over the next few years.

These jobs will come from the environmental and energy sectors, power and utilities companies, university laboratories as well as research and development (R&D) centres. You will be able to work as an energy specialist, system integrator, energy auditor, R&D associate or energy management executive. There is also an increasing demand for personnel trained in energy monitoring within the building industry.

You can also become an entrepreneur and add to the growing clean energy industry by coming up with new clean energy solutions!


With CEM’s firm foundation in electrical and electronic engineering, you can enrol into engineering courses offered by Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore, Singapore University of Technology & Design and Singapore Institute of Technology. You can also choose to pursue a solar or clean energy-related degree at the following overseas universities:
  • University of New South Wales (Australia) 
    • Bachelor of Engineering in Photovoltaic & Solar Energy 
    • Bachelor of Engineering in Renewable Energy Engineering
  • University of Adelaide (Australia)
    • Bachelor of Engineering in Sustainable Energy Engineering
  • University of Dundee (UK) 
    • Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy
  • University of Exeter (UK) 
    • Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy
  • Oregon Institute of Technology (US) 
    • Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy
  • University of Otago (New Zealand) 
    • Bachelor of Applied Science in Energy Management

  Here are more details on the degree options and advanced standing at the universities - locally and overseas.

First-Year ModulesSecond-Year ModulesFinal-Year Modules
^  Interdisciplinary Studies (IS) modules at Ngee Ann help students become more versatile and competitive by expanding their knowledge and skills beyond their core disciplines. Areas covered include communication, entrepreneurship, lifeskills, media and the arts, and science and technology.


Diploma Plus Programme

The Diploma Plus Programme (DPP) is designed to provide students with adequate proficiency in a selected domain area, either to broaden or deepen a student’s knowledge/skills in his/her main discipline of study, or to equip a student with additional professional knowledge that would better prepare him/her for further study or increase their employability. Students can select elective modules from a wide range of clusters to obtain their Diploma Plus Certificate. DPP is optional and it will not affect the graduating requirement for the award of a diploma.

Students can choose the DPP clusters from the range listed below. The offer of a DPP cluster is subject to the condition that the minimum class size is met and based on available vacancies.

*  The syllabus has been revised to align with the ‘A’ Level H2 Pure Mathematics syllabus. NP graduates who have successfully completed the CAEM modules will be granted exemption from the NUS’ MA1301 Proficiency Test.
**  The syllabus is aligned to the NTU's FE1012: Physics A module with effect from AY2012/13. NP students who obtained good grades in the Applied Physics modules will be granted exemption from the FE1012: Physics A module.


Engineering students can also pursue Diploma Plus Certificates in Business, Innovation Management and Languages (Japanese).
