Remarks
Students in the BSc (Hons) Building Engineering and Management (BEM) programme have the option to pursue a Secondary Major in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (AIDA). Admission to this Secondary Major programme is on a competitive basis, and admitted students are subject to a different credit requirement for graduation.
Aims and Characteristics
All admitted students will embark on a Common Year One curriculum. Towards the end of year one, students can decide whether to continue with their initial choice or switch to another choice within the Faculty. Those who wish to change to another choice need to join a competitive process through a ranking assessment, which considers a combination of entrance qualification score, Year One GPA, and interview performance.
Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes
This programme provides an excellent opportunity for students who would like to pursue an education in building engineering and construction management. The growing building construction industry in Hong Kong and neighbouring regions requires graduates who possess highly specialised skills in technology, management, and communication. Our students face intellectual challenges that promote self-development and enhance their problem-solving skills. Our well-trained graduates are in great demand as professional building engineers and construction managers because they can easily adapt to the changing needs of the construction industry and have developed the necessary expertise to plan, coordinate, supervise, and control complex building projects.
Programme Characteristics
Students are required to take 121 credits and 2 training credits during this 4-year programme. The subjects include Building Engineering and Technology, Management, Construction Economics, Project Works, a Capstone Project, and Languages.
Site visits and guest lectures are arranged throughout the course of study.
Practical training/internship (Work-Integrated Education, WIE) is a compulsory element of the curriculum. Students usually complete an internship during the summer period.
The Department maintains a mentorship scheme in which students are matched with senior professionals in the construction and real estate industry to gain insights into professional practice.
The Department also operates a student exchange programme, providing opportunities to study abroad for one academic semester at universities in the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, Mainland China, and elsewhere.
