Diploma in Digital Engineering

Overview

Step into the future of Singapore’s Built Environment with the Integrated Work-Study Diploma in Digital Engineering (DDE) — where construction meets digital innovation. Gone are the days of sweat, hard hats, and dusty blueprints. Today, building is smart, virtual, and collaborative. 

With Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD), you’ll bring projects to life using data, digital platforms, and smart workflows across the entire building lifecycle. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is reshaping the industry. Imagine BIM as your virtual playground — simulate entire buildings, test designs, optimize performance, and coordinate with teams in real time. From AI-powered design tweaks to digital regulatory submissions, you’ll explore tools that make construction feel like an interactive digital simulation. 

Be part of the new generation driving Singapore’s digital built environment. Master cutting-edge BIM workflows, harness the power of data-driven insights, and explore emerging technologies transforming construction — from digital regulatory submission and AI-powered design optimization to project management. You’ll gain the skills to be the next generation of digital builders, driving efficiency, innovation, and smarter construction practices in Singapore. 

Build smarter. Build digital. Build the future.
