With a view to providing a platform for parents of the freshmen of BEng, EngSc and BME programmes to better understand the Faculty and the first year experience of new students, a sharing session – “Connecting HKU Engineering” – was held on 29 August 2018 at Loke Yew Hall. We had more than 160 freshmen parents joining us this year. Parents were very enthusiastic to learn about students’ campus life, the Faculty’s laboratory facilities, as well as the unique experience and ample opportunities that lie ahead.
One of the programme highlights was sharing from guest. This year, we were honoured to have Ir Alex Kwan, the Executive Director (Engineering & Technology) of Hong Kong Airport Authority, to share his experience and vision with the participants. Ir Kwan graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a degree in Civil Engineering. He is also the President of the H.K.U. Engineering Alumni Association. Besides sharing with us his career accomplishments and how HKU Engineering helps his career development, Ir Kwan gave some suggestions to students and parents on their university life as well.
This was followed by a sharing from alumni Mr Stanley Siu and Mr Anthony Chiu and students Mr Kelvin Ng and Miss Angel Woo. They shared their experience in choosing majors, participation in extra-curricular activities, etc.
To recall the delightful moments of the event, photographs are available for downloading here.
Participants are arranged to visit Construction Informatics Laboratory.
