College of Science and Engineering

Established in 1990, the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) has become renowned for setting a strong pace for excellence in research and teaching while maintaining close and mutually beneficial links with various sectors throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The College not only strives to provide excellent higher education opportunities, but also aspires to nurture and develop individual talent using an applicable knowledge base that is always abreast and fully supportive of on-going social changes and economic advances.

 

The College benefits from an exceptional combination of science and engineering facilities that enable the faculty to use their innovative skills in teaching, learning and research. Through the synergy of the various science and engineering units, the CSE achieves and maintains an interdisciplinary world that facilitates a high-quality learning environment.

 

On the teaching front, the College strives to instil in its students the four Is: an International outlook, an Interdisciplinary background, an Innovative approach and Interpersonal skills. Our endeavours to realise these four I’s are exemplified in the following:

  • Ubiquitous and active collaboration among the nine science and engineering academic units;
  • Meaningful research opportunities for undergraduate students;
  • Well-established placement schemes carefully aligned with students’ major studies; and
  • Worldwide academic partnerships and student exchange programmes.

Students will be admitted to the College of Science and Engineering via the Engineering or Science routes.


Admission Arrangements

JUPAS Applicants

HKDSE students will apply for admission to the College of Science and Engineering via the Engineering or Science route and select their major after their first year in our College. Students will study a broad range of Gateway Education (GE) and core-curricular courses designed by the College. At the end of the first year, the top 20% of students [based on (i) completion of at least 30 credit units in Semesters A and B; (ii) no failed grades in any courses in Semesters A and B; and (iii) cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of Semester B] will have free choice of the majors offered under the College of Science and Engineering (Engineering). The other 80% of students will be allocated to a major of their choice, subject to the availability of places and the selection criteria set by individual academic units.

 

Direct/Non-JUPAS Applicants

The direct/ non-JUPAS route is for those applicants who do not have Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) results, or for those who have those results but also possess other qualifications. Depending on the variety of qualifications the applicant possesses, the entrance requirements and admission arrangements may vary. Please click here for more information.

What You Will Be Studying

Entry level courses emphasize fundamental principles and concepts while covering a broad spectrum of basic and analytical design skills. The course topics include engineering materials and manufacturing processes, engineering analysis and design, mathematics, electronics and mechanical engineering, computer programming and computer-aided engineering drawing.

Intermediate level courses are more advanced and provide the essential background for specialisation. These courses include mechanical design, electronics for industrial applications, microprocessor programming and applications and control principles.

Advanced level courses include motion control design, a group design-project and technical elective courses belonging to the following subject areas: (i) mechanics; (ii) electronics, controls and computers; and (iii) systems and management.

Industrial Training and International Exchange

The College of Science and Engineering and the Department offer work placement opportunities through different internship schemesthat provide students with full-time job attachments to firms not only in Hong Kong, but also the Pearl River Delta region and overseas. Through such placements, students will:

 

•             Gain solid experience in a real-life working environment;

•             Develop problem solving abilities and interpersonal skills;

•             Learn the right attitudes towards work and professionalism; and

•             Broaden their experience and enhance their employability.
