Hong Kong is facing a fast-evolving and increasingly competitive world. In order to maintain economic growth in the face of globalization and survive in the 21st century, its economy has to change from efficiency based to knowledge based. The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Department is to produce all round graduates that could lead a changing economy. This goal is accomplished by having forward looking course curricula, by placing emphasis on new technologies particularly those that could impact on teaching and research, and by conducting applied and basic research to serve the Hong Kong society and push the frontier of knowledge ahead. |
