For seven decades, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) in the College of Design and Engineering at the National University of Singapore has played a pivotal role in Singapore’s transformation and contributed to advancements in global engineering. To commemorate this significant milestone, CEE organised the 70th Anniversary Symposium 2025 on 10 October 2025, in partnership with the Professional Engineers Board (PEB) and The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES).

Held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, the event brought together partners from the government and industry sectors, as well as students from primary and secondary schools, pre-university institutions and polytechnics.
Comprising three components – the symposium, an exhibition and a student fair – the event provided a unique platform where academia, government, and industry came together to share perspectives and innovative solutions, explore collaborative approaches and excite young talents who will shape the future of the built environment sector.
