HKUST 2005-2006 Annual Report

由人文社會科學學院所開設的通識教育，是所有
本科生的必修科目，並且計入學分，目的是讓學
生在專科以外，開拓更廣闊的視野。這項課程是
學士學位課程的主要部份之一。在21世紀，每
個人都需要廣濶的國際視野，有見及此，學院亦
為本科生提供副修課程，讓學生能夠得到專科以
外的學識，均衡發展。
此外，各學院在2005-06學年更不斷在教學上改
良創新，將學術發展推向新的高峰。
工學院開辦了一些新的課程，把核心工程學科與
數學、商業及科學融合，這些新的選擇包括計算
機科學與數學理學士，以及電子工程學工學士。
至於理學院則推出以研究為本的分子生物醫學科
學理學士，當學生掌握了箇中研究技巧，日後不
論在學術或研發上，皆可學以致用。
工商管理學院亦透過個案研究，推行一項連繫商
業教育與高水平語言技巧的試驗計劃，這項優質
計劃，目前已發展成為一個完整課程，學院所有
學生均可修讀。
在訓練學生的科研技術方面，成果豐碩的本科生
研究計劃，於2005-06年度進一步擴展，共有72
名學生，在39名教職員帶領下，進行不同的研
究項目。這項本科生研究計劃，主要是讓一、二
年級的學生，於暑假期間，由教職員領導進行研
究工作，吸取實際經驗，以加強他們分析及解決
問題的能力，培育他們對研究工作的興趣。
此外，愈來愈多科大學生對工作實習機會深感興
趣，盼從中汲取實際工作經驗。正因如此，由學
生事務處主辦及由個別學院協辦的海外及內地暑
期實習計劃，規模亦愈來愈大。本年度，共有
165 名學生，透過我們的祖國職情─內地實習計
劃，於東莞、上海及北京等城市的55家公司，
獲取工作經驗。
All undergraduates are required to take credit-bearing general education
programs in the School of Humanities and Social Science to help
them gain a wider perspective beyond their individual specializations. It
forms part of the backbone of a solid undergraduate education. Life in
the 21st century requires a global orientation. In this vein, the School
also provides minor programs for undergraduates to temper their
specialized pursuits.
Individual Schools have also taken bold, new steps beginning in
2005-06.
The School of Engineering has brought in new program options
linking core engineering subjects with mathematics, business and the
sciences. Exciting new options include the new Bachelor of Science in
Computer Science and Mathematics, and the Entrepreneurship Option
in the Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Engineering.
The School of Science has introduced a Bachelor of Science program
in Molecular Biomedical Sciences designed for students looking for
a research-oriented program, in which skills for academic and R&D
careers will feature prominently.
A pilot scheme has been developed in the School of Business and
Management linking business education through case-studies with
the development of high-end language skills, and this scheme is now
being expanded to a full course for all students in the School.
On the skills-building front, our successful Undergraduate Research
Opportunity Program had expanded further in 2005-06, with 72
students working with 39 faculty members on various research projects.
The scheme enables first and second-year students to undertake
research work with faculty members during the summer vacation to
gain hands-on experience. It boosts students’ analytical and problem-
solving capabilities, and sparks their interest in research careers.
Our students are increasingly attracted to internships which provide
cachet in the world of work. This has led to an expansion of summer
internships programs both overseas and on the Mainland, implemented
principally by the Student Affairs Office, and additionally by individual
Schools. During the year, 165 students gained work experience in
more than 55 companies in cities ranging from Dongguan to Shanghai
to Beijing under the popular Mainland Internship Program.
