About the Course

Overview

Singapore’s construction industry is gearing up for a major makeover! Gone will be the traditional laborious method of building with sweat-drenched designers & contractors peering over huge sheets of dirt-stained drawings and arguing loudly about defective works; while balancing on scaffoldings many stories above ground. In comes the new digitalized method of building with designers & contractors calmly collaborating in a comfortable and safe meeting room, with projections of 3D models or digital twins of to-be-built buildings, to iron out any discrepancies before the actual building is built.

The Diploma in Construction Engineering (Digital) has all the core engineering courses and the relevant digital skillsets that will transform Singapore’s construction industry towards a more sustainable, productive and SMART industry.
