The
School of Engineering enrolls about 40% of the University's
undergraduate and postgraduate students. It comprises the Departments
of Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical
and Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management,
and Mechanical Engineering. Each department offers undergraduate programs
leading to the BEng degree and postgraduate programs leading to the research-based
degrees of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD),
and course-based degree of Master of Science (MSc). Besides, the School
offers Master of Technology Management (MTM) Programs.
In addition to these
disciplinary programs, an interdisciplinary BEng program in Computer Engineering,
jointly administered by the Departments of Computer Science, and Electrical
and Electronic Engineering, is also offered. Other interdisciplinary degree
programs jointly offered by the Schools of Science and Engineering include
MSc in Biotechnology, MSc in Materials Science and Engineering, and MSc
in Environmental Science and Engineering.
The School of Engineering
also offers two undergraduate minor programs in Information
Technology, and Technology Management to engineering
undergraduate students to equip them with knowledge and management skills
in technology areas. With the approval of the major department, undergraduate
students can graduate with dual program designation, if they can complete
the requirements of the two undergraduate programs within the normal period
of study.
The undergraduate
curricula in the School of Engineering are broad-based with special attention
given to laboratory skills, computer applications and design techniques.
While undergraduate students in engineering take courses offered by their
major departments, they also take at least 12 credits of general education
courses offered by other schools. All engineering students will participate
in a three-year immersion-style practical English language enhancement
program. This mix of courses provides students with an integrated and
modern view of the discipline. To complement academic training, the Industrial
Training Program offers structured training in a simulated industrial
environment, which helps students satisfy the training requirements of
professional engineering bodies. Together, these reflect the fundamental
facts that the mission of engineering is to produce and synthesize, and
that engineering practice must be compatible with economic realities and
the social environment.
Research and postgraduate
education form a fundamental component of the School's mission. While
supervised research is the backbone of the training for students pursuing
MPhil and PhD degrees, all postgraduate students are required to undertake
some course work.
Each department in
the School of Engineering is established with state-of-the-art laboratories
and computing facilities for teaching and research purposes. These facilities
are supported by the University's central facilities, including the Library,
the Center for Enhanced Learning and Teaching, the Information Technology
Services Center, the Materials Characterization and Preparation Facility,
the Advanced Engineering Materials Facility, the Microelectronics Fabrication
Facility, the Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Facility, the Electrical
and Mechanical Services Facility, the CLP Power Wind/Wave Tunnel Facility,
and the Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility.

In order to
support the University's mission to contribute to the economic and
social development of Hong Kong and her region, the School of Engineering
has focused its Continuing and Professional Education Programs on
the diffusion of new technologies in Engineering and Management.
This focus is reflected in the participation of the School's faculty
members and technical staff as featured speakers in their own areas
of specialism. In general, programs are designed to provide on-the-job
development of professionals in new areas of high technologies at
the postgraduate level. Most programs are conducted on weekends.
Industrial flavored laboratory demonstrations and hands-on exercises
are frequently incorporated in these programs to enhance the learning
experience of students.
A full spectrum
of short programs on a wide range of engineering and management
topics is offered all year round for open enrolment. These non-credit
programs are aimed at orientating practicing engineers and professionals
with the latest developments in technology. Program materials are
generally condensed to within two to five days. These programs include
topics that fit under the general themes of Information Technology,
Telecommunication and Networking Technology, Electronic Technology,
Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Engineering Management, Manufacturing
Technology, Product Design Technology, Environmental Technology,
Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Construction Management,
Building Services Technology, and Advanced Materials Technology.
In response
to the increasing needs of industries for tailor-made programs,
the School designs programs to meet company needs. Programs spanning
from one day to half a year have been delivered for a number of
government departments, local industries, and multinational corporations
both in Hong Kong and in China.
In addition
to short programs and tailored-made programs, the School offers
a 6-month part-time Professional Diploma in Computer Forensics (PDCF)
program and a 12-month part-time Graduate Diploma in Computer Forensics
(GDCF) program to deliver cutting-edge technology and legal practices
in the computer security and forensics field. Both diploma programs
are the first and only such programs offered in Hong Kong and in
most parts of Asia. Moreover, the School also offers a 10-month
part-time Executive Diploma in Transportation Logistics Management
(EDTLM) program to top executives and managers from the transportation
and logistics field. The School offers a broad spectrum of continuing
and professional education in engineering and management (MTM, GDCF,
PDCF, EDTLM and short programs) for executives and technical professionals
to suit various levels of interests, experience, academic standings
and aspirations that engineering professionals may have.
