The Faculty has set out its mission to be the education of future leaders in engineering, the pursuit of knowledge at the frontier of modern technology, and the application of technology to meet societal and human needs. In both teaching and research, the Faculty is guided by the highest international academic standards. - Five academic departments under the Faculty
- Around 1520 undergraduates
- Around 1000 postgraduates
- Over 100 academic staff
- Engineering Complex: Full 802.11g Wireless LAN coverage with many location based services beginning Sept. 2004
| ‧ | The Department of Electronic Engineering was founded in 1970 by Professor Charles Kao, an international renowned scientist, father of the optical fibre and former VC of The CUHK, and was the first to offer a work-study programme in Hong Kong. | | | | | ‧ | The Department of Computer Science and Engineering was founded in 1973 as the Department of Computer Science and was the first Computer Science department in Hong Kong. Its Computer Science major programme was the first outside the United Kingdom accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). | | | | | ‧ | The Department of Information Engineering which was founded in 1989 was the first Information Engineering department in Hong Kong focusing on communication and Information Technology. | | | | | ‧ | The Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management was established in 1991 as the Department of Systems Engineering, the first of its kind to have a programme built on four major areas of E-Commerce Systems, Financial Engineering, Information Systems, and Logistics and Supply Chain Management. | | | | | ‧ | The four departments of Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Information Engineering and Systems Engineering were brought together to form the Faculty of Engineering in August, 1991. | | | | | ‧ | In September 1993, the Faculty moved into the modern Ho Sin Hang Engineering Building which is well-equipped with advanced laboratories and computing facilities. The Building has offered an ideal environment to staff members and students of the Faculty to support their teaching, research and learning activities. | | | | | ‧ | The Department of Automation and Computer-Aided Engineering (formerly called Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering) was established in 1994, and is the first of its kind in Hong Kong to emphasize interdisciplinary study of mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer science. | | | | | ‧ | The Faculty established the Information Networking Laboratories (INL) in 1996 as a pioneer effort to help technology transfer between academia and the industry in information areas. INL was restructured in January 1999 and renamed as Centre for Innovation and Technology (CINTEC) which aims to provide synergy to expand and intensify inter-departmental multi-disciplinary projects on emerging technologies, to elevate industrial liaison and collaboration, and to find ways to transfer technology to industry. | | | | | ‧ | To cater for the rapid expansion of the Faculty in academic and research development, the Faculty had moved some of its academic departments and facilities into a new Phase II Engineering Building adjacent to its Ho Sin Hang Engineering Building starting the fall of 2004. The new Engineering Building was named William M.W. Mong Engineering Building after Dr. William M.W. Mong, the chairman and senior managing director of the Shun Hing Group, in a ceremony on October 25, 2004 in appreciation of his generous support on the University’s academic, research, and technological development in the past decades. | |
