The Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is delighted to announce the successful BEEE Non-local Student Gathering 2023/24, organized by the Department. The event, held on 20th September 2023, provided a fantastic opportunity for non-local students in the BEEE BEng programme to connect with their peers and Department staff.

The gathering, held at Room ZS869, 8/F Block Z, PolyU, welcomed Year 1 and Year 2 non-local students, along with esteemed guests including Professor Asif Usmani, Head of Unit, Ir Dr Wong Ling Tim, Associate Head & BEng Programme Leader, and Dr Cheung Hiu Dan Hilda, Deputy BEng Programme Leader. The in-person event featured various activities aimed at fostering camaraderie and building relationships.

Participants enjoyed a warm welcome speech by the Head of Unit and Programme Leaders, introducing upcoming department events. A casual self-introduction session allowed students to share their names, nationalities, hobbies, and study backgrounds. Representatives of current non-local students shared their experiences, followed by a staff-student sharing session where participants engaged in meaningful conversations over tea and refreshments.

The gathering concluded with a memorable group photo session, capturing the spirit of unity among the attendees.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all who attended, making the BEEE Non-local Student Gathering 2023/24 a resounding success. We encourage those who couldn't attend to stay connected and participate in future department events.

Thank you to everyone for their active participation and enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more exciting opportunities to connect within the BEEE community!
