Introduction 

Have you ever marvelled at how Changi Airport operates – with lights, changing information displays and massive security systems to back it up?

Now imagine having the power to keep these running smoothly. You can, with the Diploma in Electrical Engineering (EE) – one of the most flexible diplomas that will plug you into a wide range of careers. Your training in electrical, electronic and computer engineering will allow you to manage modern power systems, as well as sophisticated electronic and computer systems. With electrical engineering forming the backbone technology of diverse industries like electricity, electronic, aerospace, biomedical, communications, arts and entertainment, tourism and financial services – you have greater career choices! 

In the final year, you have the option to specialise in one of these options:

• Power engineering
• Electronics
• Data and network systems
• Engineering management
• Solar technology (New!)
• Business management (New!) (non-engineering)
• Marketing and entrepreneurship (New!) (non-engineering)

Work on a full-time design project or join a local or overseas attachment programme. This will boost your confidence, innovative and entrepreneurial spirit .

You can even take part in competitions to showcase your talent. Attachment programmes will allow you to train with industry leaders like ST Aerospace, and PowerGrid Ltd. Go beyond your comfort zone when you work in China, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia. To further enrich your educational experience, you can participate in youth expeditions, nature camps, national and international competitions.

Career Prospects  

Upon graduation, you may apply for the Electrical Technician Licence, which is recognised by the Energy Market Authority. This will be an asset when working in or starting your own electrical contracting business.

Enter into a variety of industries such as electricity consultancy, aerospace, media, arts and sciences, biomedical, high-tech manufacturing, computer networking and world-class resorts.

Our graduates readily find employment with good starting salaries right after graduation. Many have since risen to managerial positions or become entrepreneurs.
