Programme Introduction
The Faculty of Engineering aims to nurture highly talented and top-performing engineering students to be future leaders in frontier technology developments and rapidly advancing industries. The training flexibility and curriculum elements for these students are beyond the traditional engineering education requirements to prepare them to take up new challenges in various highly competitive engineering fields, such as, but not limited to, robotics, artificial intelligence, material technology, nanofabrication, semiconductor, construction automation, and sustainable development. Through freely choosing an engineering major, receiving academic/industrial mentorship, and participating in overseas exchanges, students can aim to pursue the most competitive career paths in either academic or industrial direction. Applicants can use one single code, 6303, to apply for the Bachelor of Engineering Elite Programme.
What You’ll Study
To fully explore their unique potential, students can freely choose Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science of the School of Computer and Data Science (SCDS) as their BEng degree.
Elite Programme students are also eligible to choose to enroll in the Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Science in Engineering in Artificial Intelligence in Engineering (BEng X + MScEng AIE) scheme to obtain a BEng Degree and a Master Degree in AI in Engineering in 4+1 Years with fast-track opportunities for more interdisciplinary training. All the details and requirements of Engineering BEng X + MScEng AIE scheme are mentioned under programme code 6377.
The Faculty will provide special academic advisors to guide students in this programme through their curriculum design and overseas exchange choices. Each student will also be assigned an industrial mentor to assist them in learning from state-of-the-art practices in the corresponding industry.
Each student can receive an entrance scholarship of HKD100,000 and an overseas academic exchange scholarship of HKD50,000 to encourage them to pursue more challenging training opportunities.
Exciting Opportunities
Students will build solid foundations in their chosen engineering discipline and be connected to the frontier technologies needed in the industries through active learning, capstone experience, hands-on activities, academic advising, industrial mentorship, internship, exchange studies, and service learning, which prepares them to pursue promising engineering careers in the future.
Professional Recognition
Following graduation with their BEng degree, students will be eligible to apply for the corresponding professional recognition with the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE).
Career Prospect
The Elite Programme graduates are expected to have great flexibility in their career choices and development. In addition to the existing opportunities in engineering sectors, other students may also choose to serve in the business, research, education, social and community sectors. In the past, around 16% of the BEng graduates pursued further studies in Hong Kong or overseas.
