首屆「研究影響基金」 理大項目佔1/3 健康智慧城市各半 10項共獲撥逾6000萬

大學教育資助委員會首屆的「研究影響基金」申請結果日前出爐。理工大學於2018/2019 年度申請的10 個項目，全部獲得撥款資助，共逾6000 萬元。10 個項目中包括對鐵路系統安全、準時及舒適度技術及方法研究，如減少信號系統受電磁波干擾出現問題等共6 個分項，今年6 月開始，需於4 年內完成。電機工程學系教授柯少榮表示，其中一個分項針對鐵路電氣化，如電磁波會干擾列車信號系統，故用納米技術研發物料吸收電磁波，盼減少信號系統出現誤判或令列車延誤等問題。 有關該項目報導 , 可查看以下報刊: 東網 香港01 香港經濟日報 South China Morning Post

The Signing of “Memorandum of Understanding” with HK Electric Institute

The Head of Department of Electrical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Professor Tam Hwa-yaw, and the Managing Director of HK Electric, Mr. Wan Chi-tin, signed a “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) on November 30, 2018, which provides a framework for both sides to fully utilize their expertise in power engineering by applying it in teaching and research with the aim to groom more engineering talents in Hong Kong. This MOU is the continuation of the first MOU signed 3 years ago.  The previous co-operation is proven to be a successful and fruitful one and we start to further strengthen cooperation between the two parties in the areas of research and development.  One significant milestone in this MOU will be the formation of a Smart Grid Open Laboratory which is expected to be open in next April 2019. The Department is grateful for HK Electric Institute’s strong partnership in providing industrial training and experience to equip our students in preparing for their professional career in the power engineering industry.

Congratulations to our graduates!

Congratulations to all our graduates and thanks their family and friends to the Department Welcome Reception to celebrate this very special occasion with graduates and share the joy and happiness with professors and teachers. Once again, hearty congratulations to all our graduates and best wishes in their future endeavours!
