Involving the Community<br />
Members of the public were brought face to face with the world of innovation through an exciting<br />
display of the School of Engineering’s work at the Hong Kong Science Museum in October 2011.<br />
The Bring Technology to Community exhibition showed a variety of projects by faculty members,<br />
students and alumni, demonstrating how technology creates change and has an impact on people’s<br />
lives. Items included an underwater robot, a mini smart car, and a digital photo frame designed to<br />
offer cognitive therapy for Alzheimer’s sufferers.<br />
The School also actively participated at the annual InnoCarnival, organized by the Innovation and<br />
Technology Commission since 2008. The event is held at the Hong Kong Science Park to generate<br />
interest in innovation, technology and design among young people and their families.<br />
Building Alumni Relations<br />
The School worked hard to strengthen ties with alumni, with a number of new<br />
associations formed for postgraduate programs. These include the Engineering Enterprise<br />
Management Alumni Association, MSc in Telecommunications Alumni Association and<br />
Civil and Environmental Engineering Postgraduates and Scholars Association.<br />
To keep alumni in touch with the latest developments at the School and with each other,<br />
a series of celebratory dinners was organized during the period under review. Among<br />
these happy and well-attended events were alumni dinners arranged by the Department<br />
of Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management in February 2009 and 2010; Electronic<br />
and Computer Engineering alumni dinners, organized by the Department annually in<br />
November; the homecoming reunion dinner for alumni of the Department of Civil and<br />
Environmental Engineering in June 2010; and the Department of Mechanical Engineering<br />
20th Anniversary dinner in November 2011.<br />
Over 330 of the School’s graduates and their families also took part in the Engineering<br />
Alumni Fun Day in May 2011. This was followed by a homecoming dinner to celebrate<br />
HKUST’s 20th Anniversary.<br />
