Introducing SENG<br />
The ninth edition of the HKUST School of Engineering (SENG) Status Report, covering the period 2009 to<br />
2011, finds the School has been energetically moving forward in its role as a global teaching and research<br />
powerhouse.<br />
Since the founding of the research-intensive Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 1991, the<br />
School has established a strong international reputation and consistently ranks among the top engineering<br />
schools in Greater China, Asia and around the world.<br />
SENG is the largest of the five Schools at HKUST and enrolls almost 40% of the University’s student body<br />
and over one-third of the University’s faculty members.<br />
Through our six departments – Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Civil and Environmental<br />
Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronic and Computer Engineering, Industrial<br />
Engineering and Logistics Management, and Mechanical Engineering – we offer wide-ranging coverage of<br />
the field and exciting opportunities for cutting-edge education and research.<br />
The School provides more than 40 degree programs at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels,<br />
including innovative interdisciplinary programs that bring together the expertise of different departments<br />
within the School and across the University. We also collaborate with top global engineering schools to<br />
offer joint degree programs at the postgraduate level.<br />
Continuously seeking to advance, the School has added to people’s lives in many different ways: through<br />
significant research discoveries and globally recognized excellence; by contributing to the social and<br />
economic development of Hong Kong and its transition to a knowledge-based society; in evolving a pacesetting<br />
education experience for 21st century engineers; through our internationalization and multiple<br />
perspectives; and by participating in solution-building to overcome the grand challenges the world faces in<br />
areas such as sustainable development and energy.<br />
As the report indicates, the School is taking exciting strides to further our endeavors and to raise awareness<br />
of the essential role that engineers play in technological advancement and social development. This is how<br />
we are Leading Change. We welcome forward-looking students, faculty members, researchers, alumni,<br />
administrators, industrial and community partners, and benefactors to join us in our quest.
