The 2016 PolyU Education Info Day held on 8 October 2016 was a huge success. The Department of Building Services Engineering (BSE) actively participated in the Info Day to provide prospective undergraduates with first-hand and comprehensive information of BSE programmes and curriculum.
The Faculty Opening Ceremony commenced at Podium FG Wing in the morning. Professor Asif Usmani, Head of Department, joined the ceremony on behalf of the Department.
Prof. Usmani, Prof. S.K. Tang and Dr. Linda Xiao discussed our BSE programmes with the Faculty Dean Prof. You-Lin Xu.
The Info Day was featured by a wide variety of events including programme information seminars, exhibition booth, consultation session, game and guided laboratory visits, which deepened visitors’ understanding of BSE programmes.
The exhibition booth aimed to showcase the BSE Department programmes’ content and unique features in teaching and learning, invention of BSE, student activities such as WIE and student exchange programme, and facilities in BSE to the public.
Two information seminars with the theme “Building Services Engineering: A Bridge to a Lifelong Exciting Career” were held in the morning and afternoon sessions for interested parents and students to acquire a better understanding of the admission arrangements and requirements through JUPAS, at the same time to counsel students in deciding their JUPAS programme
choices.
Following the BSE introduction by Prof. Usmani and Undergraduate Programme Leader Prof. S.K. Tang, our guest speakers Mr. Ben Ngai and Mr. Alex Fung shared their perspectives on BSE as a branch of study and their personal experience during their study in the Department. They were keen to point out the challenging career prospects of BSE and illustrate the
excitement in university life.
Information related to admission arrangements was provided to visitors who were mostly secondary school students and their parents. Enquiries about admission were also addressed on the spot at the seminars.
We would like to express our greatest gratitude and appreciation to all colleagues, alumni, guests and student ambassadors for their enthusiastic participation in Info Day. We believe that the PolyU Education Info Day has successfully facilitated prospective students’ understanding of our Department and academic programmes. We look forward to seeing them in the near future.
