We continued to forge ahead with quality education and cutting-edge research centred on natural and mathematical sciences. We also leveraged on our strengths in fundamental sciences to extend into interdisciplinary and applied areas. We constantly redesign and enhance our curriculum to provide students with both depth and breadth of scientific knowledge as well as transferrable skill sets. The quality of our education and the interesting array of courses have drawn many highly talented students to the Faculty. We focus on fundamental research with impactful innovations. We have secured multiple high-value grants and achieved significant breakthroughsin a number of areas this year. Our research achievements are well-recognised internationally; our professors have received awards for the advances they made to fundamental sciences. Increasingly, we also pursue interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research to work on novel problems that bring science from bench to table, thereby creating impact to society and industry.  \nWe can face the future from a position of strength. We will shape the future by creating international impact with fundamental and translational research, and continue to provide quality education for Singapore.  \nTransformative Education  \nIn addition to strengthening our curriculum to provide  \ndepth in discipline knowledge and breadth in foundational knowledge, we have focused on integrating knowledge acquisition and skills development, facilitating learning opportunities outside students’ majors, and inculcating the mindset for lifelong learning. We are offering new modules in computational thinking skills, applied projects for more students, and internships under the Cooperative Education Programme for Data Science and Analytics students. These and other efforts help students gain industry experience and apply their knowledge to develop practical solutions to authentic problems. New and expanded Summer Programmes – Global Science Summer Programme and the NUS-Hokkaido University Summer Programme: Agri-Science in Japan and Singapore – offer students additional opportunities to learn under experts in the field and to experience learning indifferent environments. Another highlight is the Concurrent Degree Programme with the University of Melbourne (UoM), which we offered thi","cbCaiccmS8xD1kTP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiccmS8xD1kTP","pdf",4808326,42,"English","# Dean's Message\n## Transformative Education\n## Transformative Research\n## Global Science Summer Programme","[{\"question\":\"What educational initiatives are highlighted in the Dean’s Message for 2018?\",\"answer\":\"The Dean’s Message highlights curriculum redesign for depth and breadth, integration of knowledge acquisition and skills development, new computational thinking modules, applied projects, and internships under the Cooperative Education Programme for Data Science and Analytics students.
