Information Engineering and Media Nanyang Technological University

Overview

A New Breed of Engineers 

Technology is witnessing a new revolution. By merging art and creativity with information, communications and digital media technology, new breakthroughs have been achieved. Remarkable progress in movie and games, for instance, can only be made possible with technology working hand in hand with art and creativity. This new revolution has opened up new possibilities, experiences and business opportunities that will radically change the world. It has created the need for a new breed of infocomm engineers equipped with sound understanding of the artistic and creative processes in media design and production. 

The Bachelor of Engineering in Information Engineering and Media (IEM) is here to answer this need. This four-year direct-honours programme is hosted by the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and jointly offered with the School of Art, Design and Media, School of Computer Science and Engineering, and Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information. Leveraging on the strengths and expertise of four Nanyang Technological University schools, this multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary degree programme aims: 

• To train professional Infocomm engineers with strong technical skills to meet the demand for Infocomm manpower.
• To train engineers with an exposure to the artistic and creative processes and equip them with an understanding of the needs of the growing media industry.
• To provide graduates with a strong foundation in mathematics, information sciences and soft-skills for diverse careers and life-long learning.
• To develop graduates with a good understanding of their roles in society and a strong sense of ethical and professional responsibilities.
