Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Transportation Engineering

I chose the BEng (Hons) in Transportation Systems Engineering (TSE) programme because I am interested in traffic and transport, and this is the only programme in Hong Kong specifically focused on transportation systems.
 
During my school life, I learned about various aspects of transportation systems, including signal design, public transit performance analysis and intelligent transport systems. Because transportation systems require electricity, I also learned about Electrical Engineering topics, such as circuit analysis, power conversion and electric power infrastructures. The programme is more than calculation and written learning; practical training is provided by the Industrial Centre (IC) for hands-on experience using tools and software training in computer labs, from woodworking and concrete mixing to AutoCAD and 3D model drawings. The learning experiences in IC subjects differ from regular classes and are fun and valuable.
 
Apart from academics, I met many friends with similar interests while studying at TSE. We learned from each other and discussed recent developments in transportation. They made my school life very meaningful and joyful. Overall, studying at TSE has been rewarding and has helped me to be well-prepared to join the transportation field.

I have been interested in traffic flow since I was a child. Therefore, I chose Transportation Systems Engineering (TSE). The programme structure fit my interests and was suitable for me. It mainly focuses on transport flow and operation, which differs from civil engineering with structural and hydraulic engineering. I was excited about the various subjects that cover traffic theories on how the traffic flow acts in a mature state and how its efficiency can be improved.
 
Studying at TSE has evoked my intense enthusiasm for transportation because we meet problems with transport in our daily life. The daily observations really helped me understand the theories.
 
I was also required to study Electrical Engineering (EE) subjects. This knowledge can provide an alternative career path for graduates. It greatly enhanced my confidence in my study. It was great to meet friends with similar interests. I was able to befriend students who chose EE as their major, and we shared what we learned in TSE.
