Many people have never heard of logistics, but it is everywhere in our daily lives – from small gadgets to the machinery on a building site. I am honoured to have been accepted to the Logistics Engineering with Management programme, retitled to Intelligent Supply Chain (ISC). In our first year, interesting and useful Cluster-Area Requirements and Leadership subjects sharpened our skills and nourished our personal development.

I initially felt nervous while I was getting used to life at PolyU. Luckily, Dr Choy, the Programme Leader, really cares for his students and was willing to spend time talking to us. Everyone I have met at PolyU has been very friendly and willing to help others when they are in need. I now feel excited and energised about my life at PolyU.

I have participated in several activities, such as the exchange tour to Beijing in the summer, attended various talks given by famous people, and served as a student helper at PolyU events. This has helped me to get to know the campus and broaden my horizons. I would like to thank everyone I have met at PolyU. Without them, my life here would not have been so fruitful. I look forward to more great opportunities in the future.

Enterprise Engineering with Management (EEM), retitled to Engineering Management with Data Analytics (EMDA), is designed to equip graduates with hard skills, personal development, and industrial experience. The programme will broaden your perspective through embedded internships, exchange programmes and summer school opportunities and will open the door to a wide range of careers including but not limited to consulting, finance, and management trainees in various sectors.

The BSc (Hons) in Enterprise Engineering with Management programme, retitled to Engineering Management with Data Analytics (EMDA), provided me with a diverse study environment. It not only equipped me with academic knowledge but also encouraged my personal growth. Most importantly, this course cultivates business-engineering professionals with structured mindsets, through its various subjects and projects.

I was part of a group that entered the Business Plan Competition, which required us to propose a new business opportunity with a detailed plan. We were the first runners-up in this competition. My FYP was in cooperation with the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, for which I developed informative and interactive e-learning courseware. This gave me the valuable experience of applying the skills I had learned to a real-life situation. I also participated in study tours to places such as Korea and Beijing, was involved in voluntary service, and was a student helper on Information Day and at a large-scale international seminar.

The rapid changes that affect us all present new challenges every day. Thus, in addition to participating in traditional learning, we must be good team players and flexible workers. In my present career in finance and marketing, I have opportunity to work with people from all walks of life and on different projects. My university life prepared me for this – I worked with people from different backgrounds, managed jobs analytically and became a fast learner.

The BSc (Hons) in Enterprise Engineering with Management programme, retitled to Engineering Management with Data Analytics (EMDA), offered me practical experience and many valuable opportunities, and it broadened my horizons.

In addition to comprehensive knowledge related to enterprise engineering and business management, the programme provided me with many opportunities to participate in various kinds of events, including a study tour to Taiwan, an exchange programme in Finland, and several competitions, so that I could further develop and apply my professional knowledge and the skills I had learned. I now have a global outlook and a good understanding of enterprise management, which will facilitate my organisational decision-making and problem-solving in the future.

The enriched programme undoubtedly gave me advantages in the highly competitive job market. I am now a management trainee at DHL Global Forwarding (Hong Kong) Limited, and I have applied the professional knowledge that I gained in the programme, such as project management and strategic management, during my training. This has helped me to deal confidently with challenges and management problems in the organisation. I will continue to use this knowledge to improve my performance and obtain better outcomes.

I feel extremely fortunate to be a graduate of the programme. It gave me an all-round education and the development opportunities I needed to become a professional enterprise engineer.

The BSc (Hons) in Enterprise Engineering with Management, retitled to Engineering Management with Data Analytics (EMDA), integrates management methods and scientific approaches to help organisations manage resources effectively and adapt to an ever-changing business environment. In addition to gaining knowledge of planning and designing effective operation processes for enterprises, I learned about the importance of information technology in helping enterprises to identify industry trends, fulfil customer expectations and gain competitive advantages.

During our 4 years of study, we were often given opportunities to apply our theoretical knowledge, and the practical training and projects were challenging and rewarding. In addition to academic study, we were able to broaden our outlook via study tours and organisation visits and to explore our career options in graduate sharing sessions.

As a business analyst in a shipping company, I often apply the knowledge I learned during the programme. My skills in project planning and business re-engineering help me to identify the needs of users and design solutions to improve business processes and operations.
