The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) is a three-year direct honours degree programme jointly offered by SIT and Newcastle University (NU).
As the first locally-offered, dedicated electrical power engineering undergraduate programme, the curriculum is specially customised to meet industry demand in Singapore. It will play an important role in increasing the number of graduates to address the workforce demand in the power sector whilst fulfilling the country’s vision of becoming a Smart Nation. As a joint programme, it will leverage the expertise and resources of both SIT and NU.
Graduates from the SIT-NU EPE programme are needed in diverse sectors including electrical power generation, transmission and distribution, renewable energy systems, smart grids, electrical installations in buildings, transportation electrification, industry automation and applications. Through a rigorous curriculum with a strong industry focus, graduates will be theoretically-grounded and practice-oriented. This will equip them with the necessary technical competence, tools and personal skills that will enable them to continue to develop their understanding, expertise and professionalism as they progress through their career. Having a solid foundation will also facilitate lifelong learning as they embark on their engineering career.
Graduates of Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Electrical Power Engineering may pursue the SIT-awarded Master of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, after at least one year of relevant working experience.
Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) of MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
To produce graduates who are:
- Competent Electrical Engineers: Able to solve complex engineering problems in electrical systems, from power generation, distribution, conversion and storage to electrification in the built environment and transportation.
- Responsible Problem-Solvers: Able to deliver safe, reliable, and sustainable engineering solutions. Their work will take into account ethical, social, environmental, economic, and global issues.
- Effective Communicators and Leaders: Able to communicate clearly and work well as individuals, team members and leaders in multidisciplinary workplaces.
- Lifelong Learners: Committed to lifelong learning and able to adapt to new technologies and the energy transition to make a positive impact on society.
Programme Highlights
This degree programme specialises in the domain of Electrical Power Engineering with following industry electives:
- Sustainable Generation and Renewable Energy
- Smart Grids and Electricity Markets
- Electrical Installations Design for Built Environment
- Power Systems Operation and Protection
- Electric Propulsion Systems
- Energy Storage Systems and Applications
- Transportation Power Supplies
- Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure
Integrated Work Study Programme
Students of the joint programme will undergo eight months of Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) at a company relevant to their area of study. The IWSP is an integral part of applied learning as it provides an opportunity for students to integrate what they have learnt in the classroom to what is practised in the real world, and vice-versa. The extended period of IWSP, with students performing real work, also provides an opportunity for companies to evaluate the suitability of students as potential employees.
Besides producing practice-oriented graduates, IWSP will also be the platform through which students will be challenged during their work attachment stint to initiate innovative projects under the guidance of SIT’s IWSP academic supervisors and company-appointed work supervisors. Through such projects, students will be given the opportunity to develop engineering solutions for the projects they have identified. In this way, the IWSP will be a key platform that contributes to the inculcation of the SITizen-DNA in every student.
Overseas Immersion Programme
All students will have to complete a three-week attachment at the home campus of Newcastle University where they get to experience life as a student, living and studying in Newcastle, United Kingdom. The programme will include academic lectures, industry visits, library and career talks, research and literature review workshops to prepare students for their final year dissertation projects, as well as visits to local companies, museums and key cultural sites.

Graduates can look forward to career opportunities in a wide range of industries and sectors, including but not limited to::
- Research and Development
- Electrical Utilities, Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution
- Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems
- Smart Grids and Energy Management
- Transportation Electrification and Electric Vehicles
