PDU (PEB) – Pending approval

This module is designed to equip participants with in-depth knowledge and competency in selected topics in electrical engineering, such as electrical installation design, earthing systems, and lightning protection for the built environment.

Participants will explore the design considerations for societal responsibilities, public safety, environment, and sustainability in the electrical engineering context. Additionally, key components relevant across major industries will also be covered, including lighting, fans, HVAC, pumps, maintenance, automation, motor drives, power conversion, and life cycle costs.

The module will be based on relevant codes of practice from the perspective of practising engineers, and it aims to broaden and enhance engineers’ expertise to remain relevant in the industry.

Who Should Attend

  • Graduate engineers preparing for electrical Professional Practice Exam (PPE) paper of the Professional Engineers Board, Singapore
  • Practising engineers who wish to gain an in-depth knowledge and competency in the selected topics in power engineering
  • Graduates of SIT-NU BEng Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) programme
Prerequisites
  • Bachelor degree in Engineering
  • At least one-year of relevant working experience

What You Will Learn

  • Establish a regulatory framework and registration of professional engineers, including professional conduct and ethics
  • Design the philosophy and considerations for power projects
  • Design approaches and considerations to comply with the requirements of SS 638 code of practice for electrical installations. 
  • Protect against electric shock or flashover, thermal effects, overcurrent and faults.
  • Select, size, and protect cables appropriately
  • Apply software for analysis and design
  • Implement lightning protection principles, including the basic protection scheme and requirements of lightning standards and risk assessment
  • Provide overvoltage protection for low-voltage systems, including protection against lightning and electromagnetic impulses
  • Understand the principles of electromagnetic compatibility, which include the electromagnetic environment, electromagnetic interference and coupling mechanisms
  • Understand lighting requirements for the workplace, indoors and outdoors, including emergency lighting and voice communication
  • Install a standby power generator system
