Aims and Characteristics
Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes
We nurture graduates with the technical and academic competence needed to excel in building sciences and engineering/building services engineering.
This programme meets the demand for locally trained building/building services engineers with expertise in the fields of consultancy, contracting, building management, and research and development.
Our graduates also have a broad range of personal skills, such as the ability to communicate effectively, think critically, learn independently, and address new problems innovatively.
Programme Characteristics
Students learn the art and science of providing safe, healthy, and energy-efficient built environments with minimal adverse impacts on the environment. They also have opportunities to tackle intellectual challenges that prepare them to become future managers in the industry.
Students have the opportunity to work in teams, lead small projects, work independently and interact with highly qualified and professional staff. They also have access to a variety of design software and laboratory facilities to learn the latest building sciences and engineering applications, such as artificial intelligence and big data for smart buildings.
Local and offshore summer placement opportunities are also offered. Students who join the Student Exchange Programme can study at universities in the United States, Europe, Australia, Russia, Southeast Asia, or Mainland China for a semester.
Students are regularly awarded scholarships by professional bodies and major organisations in Hong Kong.
