Engineering Academy
Practical training in how engineering-office work is done in Singapore: choosing and recording assumptions, reading the LTA Civil Design Criteria and drawings, producing traceable calculations, and responding to review comments. Built first for civil engineers from Myanmar preparing to work with Singapore engineering companies.
Two ways to browse
By CDC chapter (LTA A3, Dec 2025 — all 15 chapters) or by engineering topic. Both lead to the same module records.
How you learn
Short lesson → annotated worked example → hand calculation → calculator or workbook → submitted exercise → reviewer comments → revision → portfolio evidence.
Access
Selected modules are free. Other calculators use the site's monthly calculator subscription. Reviewed assignments are a separate training package — ask us for current arrangements. Calculator pricing
Foundation pathway — first release
Status labels are shown honestly. A module is usable for engineering work only when its calculator version has been released by an independent engineering checker.
