Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes
We equip graduates with the technical and academic competence to excel in the areas of building sciences and engineering and building services engineering.
This programme is designed to meet the demand for locally trained building and building services engineers with expertise in consultancy, contracting, building management, and research and development.
Our graduates have a broad range of personal skills, such as effective communication, critical thinking, independent learning, and innovative problem-solving skills.
Programme Characteristics
Students learn the art and science of providing safe, healthy, and energy-efficient built environments with minimal adverse ecological impacts. They also have the opportunity to tackle intellectual challenges that will prepare them to become managers in the industry.
Our students have opportunities to work in teams, lead small projects, work independently, and interact with highly qualified and professional staff. They also have access to various types of design software and laboratory facilities equipped for the latest building science and engineering applications, such as artificial intelligence and big data for smart buildings.
Local and overseas summer placement opportunities are available.
Students who join the Student Exchange Programme can study for a semester at universities in the United States, Europe, Australia, Russia, Southeast Asia, or Mainland China.
Our students are regularly awarded scholarships from professional bodies and major organisations in Hong Kong.
