Since 2006, he has spearheaded CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) engineering education adoption across the institution and Asia.

His academic credentials include:

• Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (1st Class Honours), National University of Singapore
• Master of Business Administration, University of Queensland, Australia
• Nanyang Fellows Programme, Nanyang Business School, NTU

Research centers on CDIO-driven educational innovation with emphasis on self-directed learning, sustainability mindset development, and AI/digitalization impacts on student mastery.

Professionally, Cheah is a UK Chartered Engineer holding leadership roles including Board Member of Institution of Chemical Engineers Singapore (Chairing Students Interest Group) and Technical Committee Chair for Chemicals Standards at Singapore Chemical Industry Council.

His 80+ CDIO publications and regional workshops demonstrate sustained contribution to engineering education reform, focusing on practical implementation of pedagogical frameworks rather than laboratory-based research.
