BSE visited by Zhejiang University on 12 September 2016

A delegation team of academic staff and students from Zhejiang University (浙江大學) (ZJU), led by Dr. XU Xiangguo, visited the Department of Building Services Engineering (BSE) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) on 12 September 2016. This visit aims to provide a good opportunity for cross-cultural communication between Hong Kong and China.

In the morning, the ZJU team toured the PolyU campus to expose the programme-specific and general facilities. Guided by Mr. Michael FUNG, the ZJU team then had a technical visit to BSE laboratories. The ZJU students showed great eagerness to know the functions of the facilities and equipment used in BSE research, teaching and consultancy. Through this lab tour, ZJU students were highly interested in understanding the further study opportunities at PolyU.

Afterwards, BSE Associate Professor Dr. Vivien LU warmly welcomed the ZJU team and introduced HK university structure and BSE Department to them. Associate Head Professor J.L. NIU was invited to share the BSE's history, academic programme structure and research interest. Detailed information on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by BSE was provided to the students.

Before the visit came to an end, BSE and ZJU students took turns sharing their study life and learning experience in a relaxed atmosphere. This served as a good chance for the students to pave the way for forming a deeper friendship to appreciate the cultural difference between Mainland and Hong Kong.

BSE would like to thank ZJU for their interests in BSE. We look forward to meeting friends from ZJU again in the near future.
