What is the difference between Engineering Systems and Design and Industrial Engineering?,"Industrial Engineering (IE) is a subset of ESD and a student could choose to build a profile similar to that of an IE. ESD is broader because we embrace a wider range of applications and emphasise more economics, public policy and management.

How is design incorporated into Engineering Systems and Design?,"ESD gives you the tools to model, analyse, and optimise real-world systems with a goal that our students will design robust infrastructures and design management policies that lead to increased efficiency, production, revenue, and performance in these complex systems. In the pillar years you will engage in course design projects and case studies that facilitate this kind of thinking.

Is there a lot of math and programming in Engineering Systems and Design?,"The foundation of the ESD curriculum is operations research, the branch of applied mathematics dealing with decision making and operations analysis. These mathematical techniques are imbedded in a variety of software packages and libraries. You must understand the mathematical principles and develop facility with software and programming to make effective use of these tools and techniques. So, both mathematics and programming are a part of the ESD curriculum.

Why is SUTD launching the new Design and AI (DAI) degree?,"About 10,000 tech-related jobs are expected to be created in the next 3 years through Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), hence, the new degree programme “Design and Artificial Intelligence” (DAI) aims to create a new breed of technically-grounded designers and innovators who are able to harness the power of AI to enable digital design and innovation in the space of products, systems, services and built environment. SUTD has the unique advantage and strength to set up a multi-disciplinary programme in AI-enabled design innovation since Design is its DNA and it has AI as one of its focused fields of study and research. Our broad-based education provides all students with the technical foundation and ethical awareness in their professional practice as well as the scientific and digital literacy required of all technically-inclined citizens.
