The 2022 PolyU Info Day held on 8 October 2022 in hybrid mode was a huge success. The Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE) actively participated in the Info Day to provide prospective undergraduates with the most up-to-date information of BEEE programmes and curriculum.
Head of Department, Professor Asif USMANI, and Associate Heads, Ir Dr LAI Hung Kit Joseph, Ir Professor MUI Kwok Wai Horace and Ir Dr WONG Ling Tim were more than happy to welcome the students, parents and members of the public. The Senior Management’s Tour commenced in the morning.
The Info Day was featured by a wide variety of events including programme information seminars, exhibition booth and guided laboratory visits, which deepened visitors’ understanding of BEEE programmes.
The exhibition booth aimed to showcase BEEE programmes and the unique features in teaching and learning, invention of BEEE, student activities such as WIE and student exchange programme, and facilities in BEEE to the public.
Two information seminars were held in the morning and afternoon sessions. Interested parents and students were provided with in-depth idea of the Department, building sciences and engineering and our programme. The professionalism and career prospects were also highlighted in the presentation.
Following the BEEE introduction by Ir Dr LAI Hung Kit Joseph and Undergraduate Programme Leader Ir Dr WONG Ling Tim, our guest speakers Ir Dr Tsui Suk Chong Fiona and Ir YEE Kwong Fai were invited to share their perspectives on BEEE as department excellent graduates. They were keen to point out the challenging career prospects of BEEE and illustrate the excitement in university life. Information related to admission arrangements was provided to our visitors who were mostly secondary school students and their parents. Enquiries about admission were also addressed on the spot at the seminars.
Physical guided BEEE laboratory tours were also arranged to demonstrate laboratory equipment for the interest of the public.
We would like to express our greatest gratitude and appreciation to all colleagues, alumni, guests and student ambassadors for their enthusiastic participation in the Info Day. We believe that the PolyU Info Day has successfully facilitated prospective students’ understanding of our Department and academic programmes. We look forward to welcoming them to join our programme in the near future.
