AAE Student Received Boeing/Cathay Pacific/HAESL Internship Programme 2019/2020

Congratulations to Max Lee for receiving the highly competitive Boeing/Cathay Pacific/HAESL internship programme 2019/2020! Max is now undertaking a Boeing engineering internship in the Seat Integration Team under the guidance and supervision of mentors who have a strong engineering track record and experience in aviation.   The Boeing/Cathay Pacific/HAESL internship is a 12-month industrial training scheme aimed to provide selected Hong Kong students to work in three of the world’s most renowned and respected companies in the aviation industry. Ten candidates from local universities were shortlisted among the applicants. They were invited to attend a one-day assessment consisting of group exercises, presentations and individual interviews using a rigorous selection process. The two interns selected this year will spend 6 months at Boeing (Renton, Washington, USA) and 6 months in Cathay Pacific and HAESL in Hong Kong.

PolyU and Guangzhou & Chinese Academy of Sciences (GZIS) launch a joint laboratory for collaborative study in “Collaborative Communication, Navigation, Positioning and Sensing for Intelligent Vehicles”

Starting from 20 March 2020, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the Institute of Software Application Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (GZIS) have agreed to jointly build a "Joint Laboratory of Collaborative Communication, Navigation, Positioning and Sensing ". Based on the joint laboratory, the two parties will give play to their respective advantages, and jointly carry out multi-faceted cooperation in intelligent navigation and unmanned vehicle communication and positioning, vehicle networking, and vehicle-road collaborative sensing technologies and equipment. GZIS is one of the seven governing units of the Guangzhou Intelligent Connected Vehicle Demonstration Area Operation Center. The Intelligent Transportation Laboratory under it focuses on the key technologies of V2X vehicle-road collaborative sensing and control, and intelligent connected vehicles in a structured environment. Integrated demonstration applications. A number of independent intellectual property rights have been developed in the early stages, including vehicle-road collaboration protocol stacks, roadside traffic participant fusion positioning algorithms, vehicle-road collaborative roadside / vehicle communication terminal equipment, and intelligent networked automobile road test data acquisition terminal equipment. Scientific and technological achievements. The PolyU side will be led by Dr Li-Ta Hsu, Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Division of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering, to carry out technical cooperation. Dr Hsu is a technical representative of the Institute of Navigation (ION), US and an associate fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN), UK. The research group has carried out in-depth scientific research in the areas of unmanned vehicle multi-sensor fusion positioning, multi-vehicle collaborative positioning and sensing, and smartphone GNSS positioning.
