### Why NUS Engineering

- quality, rigor of generations of engineers
- nobel laureate konstantin novoselov in smart materials sector

### Intake

- pass in maths, o level physics
- no physics: take bridging modules
- 1000 students allowed into engineering

### Q&A

- why no engineering course in o levels?
+ learn fundamentals first
- starting salary: $3,900 => depends on course taken
- apply to specific engineering courses on application
- approach in engineering will be a jump from how problems (mostly mathematical) are solved due to applications
- major in engineering @ NUS can take minor in other faculties: reverse may not be true => did not build curriculum around the possibility of transferring
