Congratulations to Dr. Johnny Wong on being selected for ‘The Departmental Award for Outstanding Teacher (2014/15)’ in recognition of his exceptional teaching performance and remarkable endeavours in enhancing students’ learning experiences!
Dr. Johnny Wong, Assistant Professor of Department of Building and Real Estate, devotes his efforts to a range of teaching areas from building measurement and documentation, quantity surveying practice, cost planning and control to sustainable building. In support of teaching building measurement, his practical adoption of building information modelling (BIM) successfully brings our students a clear picture of abstract concepts in quantity surveying and a lot of fun in their learning process.
Dr. Wong is very grateful that under his supervision, a number of undergraduate students’ thesis was honoured with the awards from professional institutions, for example, the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.There is no doubt that Dr. Wong deserved the high teaching performance rating scores and the students’ positive feedback.
It was very encouraging that Dr. Wong has been recently awarded ‘The eLearning and Blended Learning Development Fund’ from the PolyU Advisory Committee on eLearning (ACE). Dr. Wong shared with us,‘It can further help simulate real-world project conditions and reinforce the fundamental measurement concepts taught in traditional lectures and tutorials in an interoperable and blended learning environment.’
In terms of his research efforts, green and intelligent building, green Building Information Modeling, age-friendly built environments and culture in construction industry are of great interest to him.
