Course structure

One of the most established electronics diplomas in Singapore, with strong links to the industry as well as local and overseas universities

Trains you for the growing aviation, digital media, IT and robotics sectors

Six-month internships with research institutes and leading companies such as DSO National Laboratories and Advanced Micro Devices
A Minor in Business Management offers more exciting career and degree opportunities

From the laptops and smart phones that we use to the planes that we fly, everything in modern life involves electronics in some way.

So take note: if you would like to shape the way people live, work and play, then this Diploma in Electronic & Computer Engineering (ECE) is for you.

One of the most established electronics diplomas in Singapore, ECE will provide you with a strong foundation in electronics, computer and telecommunication engineering.

What’s more, the ECE Talent Development programme opens doors to exciting learning opportunities and prepares you for a promising engineering career. You will get to work on cutting-edge research projects supervised by NTU professors or industry-sponsored projects at our technology centres. You may pit your skills against the world’s best in competitions like the All Japan Micromouse Competition, and attend master classes by industry experts and university professors. Plus, you will go on local and overseas study trips that will widen your exposure to the exciting world of engineering out there.

Our specialisation options will prepare you to join the established computing and semiconductor sectors and also the growing aviation, digital media, IT and robotics sectors. You can also put your knowledge to the test with a six-month internship with industry leaders such as Micron, GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Singapore Technologies Kinetics.

Minor in Business Management
Delivered by Ngee Ann’s School of Business & Accountancy – the most established polytechnic business school – these business modules will equip you with what you need to be an entrepreneur, manager or marketing guru. Paired with your strong foundation in engineering, this optional minor will ensure that you enjoy a far wider range of exciting career and degree opportunities!

Electronics is the world’s largest industry -- and that means many diverse and exciting career opportunities for you! You can be employed as an electronics engineer, product specialist or sales and marketing specialist. You can also provide engineering support in the aerospace industries or work in the manufacturing sector.

As demand for manpower surges in the areas of networking, mobile computing and digital media, you will also be able to find work as a network support engineer, mobile app developer or communications engineer.

This diploma is recognised by leading universities both locally and abroad. You may be granted advanced standing of up to 1.5 years when applying for related degree programmes at the following universities:

• National University of Singapore
• Nanyang Technological University
• Singapore Institute of Technology
• Singapore University of Technology and Design
• University of Manchester (UK)
• University of Edinburgh (UK)
