This major is designed to meet the accreditation requirement of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE). Accreditation for the programme will be sought from the HKIE.
The School provides student exchange and internship opportunities to our students to gain international perspectives, global engagement and industry experience.
Students may choose between the overseas student exchange opportunities at world-leading institutions provided by the School or the University. Paying the tuition at CityU, students will spend a study semester abroad and may transfer the academic credits earned at the host institution to fulfil the graduation requirement.
The School also partners with premier corporates in a wide range of sectors to offer internship opportunities relevant to our majors. With these placements, students are expected to gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience in real-world applications.
