Many people have never heard of logistics, but it is everywhere in our daily lives – from small gadgets to the machinery on a building site. I am honoured to have been accepted to the Logistics Engineering with Management programme. In our first year, interesting and useful Cluster-Area Requirements and Leadership subjects sharpen our skills and nourish our personal development.

I initially felt nervous while I was getting used to life at PolyU. Luckily, Dr Choy, the Programme Leader, really cares for his students and was willing to spend time talking to us. Everyone I have met at PolyU has been very friendly and willing to help you when you are in need. I now feel excited and energised about my life at PolyU.

I have participated in several activities, such as the exchange tour to Beijing in the summer, attended various talks given by famous people, and served as a student helper at PolyU events. This has helped me to get to know the campus and broaden my horizons. I would like to thank everyone I have met at PolyU. Without them, my life here would not be so fruitful. I look forward to more great opportunities in the future.

The curriculum of the BSc(Hons) in Logistics Engineering with Management (LEM) programme incorporates the study of logistics, engineering, and business. It aims to provide students with a comprehensive education through a variety of learning opportunities, such as field trips. To sharpen students’ competitive edge in the job market, the programme also puts significant emphasis on the development of presentation and organisation skills.

The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers many additional opportunities for students to widen their horizons and apply the knowledge acquired in their studies to their daily lives and careers. During the summer holiday, I was pleased to be given the chance to join a study tour to mainland China. The trip taught me many practical skills, including interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills, all of which will play important roles in my future career.

Finally, I am proud to serve as the class representative for LEM. Meeting with professors and sharing students’ comments on the curriculum help me to build closer relationships with and between both groups and develop a strong sense of belonging to the department. I am glad to be studying at PolyU and I believe that my education here will equip me well for a brighter future.

The BSc (Hons) in Enterprise Engineering with Management programme provided me with a diverse study environment. It not only equipped me with academic knowledge but also encouraged my personal growth. Most importantly, this course cultivates business-engineering professionals with structured mindsets through its various subjects and projects.

In 2015, I was part of a group that entered the Business Plan Competition, which required us to propose a new business opportunity with a detailed plan. We were the first runners-up in this competition. My FYP was in cooperation with the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, for which I developed informative and interactive e-learning courseware. This gave me the valuable experience of applying the skills I had learned to a real-life situation. I also participated in study tours to places such as Korea and Beijing, was involved in voluntary service, and was a student helper on Information Day and at a large-scale international seminar.

The rapid changes that affect us all present new challenges every day. Thus, in addition to participating in traditional learning, we must be good team players and flexible workers. In my present career in finance and marketing, I have opportunities to work with people from all walks of life and on different projects. My university life prepared me for this – I worked with people from different backgrounds, managed jobs analytically and became a fast learner.

The BSc (Hons) in Enterprise Engineering with Management programme offered me practical experience and many valuable opportunities, and it also broadened my horizons.

In addition to comprehensive knowledge related to enterprise engineering and business management, the programme provided me with many chances to participate in various kinds of events, including but not limited to a study tour to Taiwan, an exchange programme in Finland, and several competitions, like HKEPC 2017, so that I could further consolidate and apply my professional knowledge and the skills I had learned. I now have a global outlook and a good understanding of enterprise management, which will facilitate my organisational decision-making and problem-solving in the future.

The enriched programme undoubtedly gave me advantages in the highly competitive job market. I am now a management trainee at DHL Global Forwarding (Hong Kong) Limited, and I have applied the professional knowledge I gained in the programme, such as project management and strategic management, during my training. This has helped me to deal confidently with challenges and management problems in the organisation. I will continue to use this knowledge to improve my performance and obtain better outcomes.

I feel extremely fortunate to be a graduate of the programme. It gave me an all-round education and the development opportunities I needed to become a professional enterprise engineer.

The BSc (Hons) in Enterprise Engineering with Management integrates management methods and scientific approaches to help organisations manage resources effectively and adapt to an ever-changing business environment. Aside from gaining knowledge of planning and designing  effective operation processes for enterprises, I learned about the importance of information technology in helping enterprises to identify industry trends, fulfil customer expectations and gain competitive advantages.

During our 4 years of study, we were often given opportunities to apply our theoretical knowledge, and the practical training and projects were challenging and rewarding. Aside from academic study, we were able to broaden our outlook via study tours and organisation visits and to explore our career options in graduate sharing sessions.

As a business analyst in a shipping company, I often apply the knowledge I learned during the programme. My skills in project planning and business re-engineering help me to identify the needs of users and design solutions to improve business processes and operation.
