About the Programme  

Global climate change and rising oil prices have made the need to find innovative methods of energy use and conservation more pressing than ever. You can be the professional that addresses these energy and environmental concerns with the Diploma in Clean Energy Management (CEM).

You will be trained in the two key areas of clean energy and energy management. In the area of clean energy, you will be exposed to issues concerning the sources and supplies of energy in relation to the current state of non-renewable energy sources. CEM’s energy management component, on the other hand, focuses on demand factors such as energy conservation as well as the promotion of economic, political and environmental sustainability.

Learn to make the best use of energy available to meet the needs of the transport, building and household sectors. With your training in the application of clean technologies and energy management techniques, you can reduce dependency on fossil fuels and improve energy efficiency.

Career Prospects

Prospects for CEM graduates are bright with the Singapore Government committing $350 million for research and development, testing and pilot projects in clean energy with the aim of creating a major industry worth $1.7 billion and employing 7,000 people by 2015.

You can work as an energy specialist or technologist in the clean energy sector or in the commercial and industrial sectors dealing with manufacturing, R&D, system integration, energy audit, energy management and energy conservation. You can also be an entrepreneur to tap on the growing potential of the clean energy industry.

Further Studies 

With CEM’s firm foundation in electrical and electronic engineering, you can gain direct admission into engineering courses offered by Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore.

You can also choose to pursue an energy-related degree in many overseas universities including:

• University of New South Wales, Australia
o Bachelor of Engineering in Photovoltaic & Solar Energy
o Bachelor of Engineering in Renewable Energy Engineering

• University of Dundee, United Kingdom
o Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy

• University of Exeter, United Kingdom
o Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy

• University of Otago, New Zealand
o Bachelor of Applied Science in Energy Management

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

·  Choose 2 elective modules from engineering and non-engineering clusters 
^  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 and Elective Modules

To complete the diploma, students have to take two elective modules and they can choose these from the engineering and non-engineering clusters. To qualify for a Diploma Plus Certificate, students just need to complete a total of four elective modules, with three from the same cluster. The Diploma Plus will better prepare students for university education and widen their career opportunities.
